Here’s a quiz I thought was
particularly neat, not to mention useful with so many holidays and celebrations among us.
This could be a great culture cross-check if you plan on traveling abroad in countries like
India, Brazil or even the U.K. Though some cultural slip-ups may be forgivable, raining on the natives festivities
with ignorance might not be forgotten. No one likes to have their cheery spirits
dampened. The fairly easy ten question quiz can be found at
Nat Geo Traveler (I scored an
A+) and touches on celebrations such as Diwali,
Day of the Dead, and
Akwasidae. If you’re a little
nervous about not getting a perfect score – worry not. Clicking on the links will take you into worlds of Gods,
traditions and rituals unlike your own.
