Don't try this at home...

i saw that series. and it is alarming. sometimes culture and tradition put their people in bad and pitiful situations. i cringed looking at the little girl.

I have never tried that and I imagine it hurts a lot as feet are full of small bones. But each culture has it´s own ways and what seems cruelty to a culture is the way to do it in another. I was taken to this post because I was reading a post about eating rice with the hand. I would never do it in my culture, but in another it is probably ok. I remember many decades ago, my first encounter with a restaurant of another ethnia. A friend of mine had been in the Middle East and took me to a restaurant where we sat on the floor, a waiter came to wash our hands and we had to eat with our right hand. It was difficult for me as I´m left handed, but I was told that it couldn´t be done with the other. By the way, the diner was delicious and it was my first encounter with couscous I did not see that show you mention, but I would have to know why did the mother do that and what did it mean.

hi, never watch that movie, and never try that one, maybe it could really hurt coz you already did it.
