well bali, indonesia is one - balinese people are hindu , yet their religion is different from indian variety - they believe good spirits dwell in the mountains , and that the seven seas are home for demons and ogres , offerrings play a significant role in balinese life as they are appease the spirits and thus bring properity and good health to the family. fesyivals are another great occassion for soothing gods , the woman carry huge , beautifully arranged pyramids of food , flower on their heads while the men will conduct a blood sacrifice through a cockpit. these are only the examples i find it strange but thats their culture so hand up for that - what i like it here was their frienliness and smiles and smiles - where can you see on this difficult world and yet they still keep smiles isnt that unique ??
