From the 'blackening of the bride' in Scotland and the custom of not looking babies in the eyes in Kenya, to enlisting geese as part of the police squad in China and the tradition of children eating bread with chocolate sprinkles for breakfast in Amsterdam, there are so many unique behaviors all across the world. In Bizarre World, journey across the globe to understand how various cultures approach everything from grief, beauty standards, food, parenting, death, stress management, happiness, and more. Many customs may seem perfectly sane, while others, not so much. Some are just downright strange, funny, or weird. There's so much to discover about the people around us and the beliefs they hold. Let Bizarre World be your armchair guide to a different way of life with quick facts and 'did you knows?' that will leave you saying, 'huh, that's strange.'"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><i>Atlas Obscura</i></b><b> meets <i>1001 Facts to Scare the Sh*t Out of You</i> in this serious survey of the most bizarre, creepy, and sometimes hilarious customs from cultures around the world. </b> <p/>Every culture handles life differently.
