Hello from the UK!

You said that you want to learn about different cultures, so let me tell you a bit about a tradition from one of my ancestral places of origin.

Have you heard of the Burryman ritual in Scotland?

Its where they cover a man head-to-ankles (not toes) in burrs (those sticky parts of burdock plants that inspired velcro) and parade him around a town in Edinburgh.

They also give him a few sips of a famous Scottish drink along the way to give him some energy.

I'm not making this up. It's an actual thing that happens in Scotland.

That's one reason why I want to go there.
