It's #FunFactFriday! Did you know that Greeks associate spitting with good luck? It’s seen as a traditional good luck charm at events like weddings. Today, the custom doesn’t involve wedding guests spitting on the bride. Instead of ruining the wedding gown, the gesture evolved into the more hygienic and symbolic act of guests forcefully uttering “ftou ftou ftou” to imitate spitting. Greeks also do this on other special occasions such as baptisms to acknowledge the baby’s good health and beauty.

Time for another #FunFactFriday! Members of the Yoruba tribe, an ethnic group in Nigeria, take greeting rituals seriously, especially with their elders. When an adult is approaching, it is customary for young people to greet them by dropping to their knees. To be more specific, women kneel, and men prostrate themselves. These traditional gestures are signs of deference and respect for the elders in the community.

Happy #4thofJuly to all of our #American followers! We hope you take this day to reflect on the #cultural differences that make America great. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" - The New Colossus, written by Emma Lazarus in 1883
