STRANGE MARRIAGE CUSTOMS
Have you ever witnessed a wedding ceremony of another race? Jf you have, you will realise that it is not the same as that of your own race. Every race has its own particular marriage custom.
A good example is the Bugis tribe in Celebes, Indonesia. This Muslim tribe treats their daughters' marriage as the most significant affair in their lives and the wedding ceremony usually lasts for three days. Within this time, the bride must not raise her eyes or look at the bridegroom or even set toot on the ground at all. This is a very difficult task so to make things easier for everyone concerned, the bride is given a drug to make her unconscious. Then for the three whole days of the ceremony the unconscious bride is carried about on the shou1ders of her father or other heads of her family. When the bride finally wakes up, she is already married.
Another example is a tribe in Africa, They have another strange marriage custom. Before the wedding ceremony, the bridegroom will practise kicking against a tree. What is he preparing for? Well, at the end of the wedding he has to give his wife a hard kick on the shins. Only then will their marriage be valid.
29 How long does the wedding ceremony of Bugis in Celebes usually last?

Signals were coming fast from Cousin Lan.
"Well Lan, what's stopping you? You could have them for RM430.00." offered Jamal, H I'm serious".
Cousin Lan demurred, but his need to posses the Baity shoes were too overpowering to hide. It showed in his very demeanour. Much fingering and crooning later, Cousin Lan finally ventured, "How much? Not too much you know, Mal, I'm not awash with pitis," Cousin Lan tried to bargain.
"RM430.00 only," said Jamal. "Special cut-rate price for you, Lanl"
Cousin Lan pretended to be aggrieved. Secretly, though. he was not. The last time he checked out the price of Bally shoes in Lot lOin Kuala Lumpur, it cost well above RM800.00. A chance of a life time for Cousin Lan! But Cousin Lan, as was his wont, was not averse to a little hard bargaining.
