A4.) Yes, olive oil. On salads instead of salad dressing and for cooking pretty much anything. Learned that from being in Greece where the use a LOT of olive oil. And the people all live to be 100, so it's good for you! #culturetrav

replying to @travelcricket8 @travelcricket8 A5: A medieval football match called Shrovetide is played in my hometown. It’s pretty brutal. One of the 7 rules is “Commiting murder or manslaughter is prohibited.” #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A3: I know my grandpa when really little as a child apparently had wooden shoes in #Spain and on Christmas Eve they would be filled with candy to find the next day from Saint Nicholas. It ceased happening for his family at the avent of the Spanish Civil War though. #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A5: Philly has the Mummers Parade, where people dress up in elaborate costumes and march through the middle of the city playing instruments and dancing. Someone usually does something racist and it turns into a huge drunken mess, but people love it. #CultureTrav

@Nicolette_O @MeBee12 One thing I always wondered about that cultural rule ...
... what happens if the person outside doesn't have shoes on in the first place? Are they expected to put *on* slippers/socks etc? #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A5. My hometown is Los Angeles, which has a very large Mexican population and I really identify with the wonderful Mexican traditions that I grew up around. The Dia de Los Muertos celebrations at Olvera Street and Hollywood Forever Cemetery are magical! #CultureTrav

A5 Our sleepy little town square in Bel Air, MD becomes a BBQ mecca once a year during the big BBQ Bash. It's a great fundraiser and you can't go there without running into friends and neighbors.
