  4. One of the messiest festivals can be found in Buñol, Spain, on the last Wednesday of August. La Tomatina — the world’s largest tomato fight — is a weeklong celebration that includes music, parades and fireworks, but is highlighted by the tomato fight in the town square. The battle begins at high noon after more than 300,000 pounds of tomatoes are trucked in. For one hour, locals and tourists pelt and pummel each other, creating a memorable and mushy mess.

  5. Wedding ceremony in Massai (Masai) nation of Kenya is very unusual. On the day of wedding the bride’s head is shaved and lamb fat and oil is applied on her head. In most cultures head shaving of women is not encouraged. It’s a sign of disgrace. In India widows used to shave their heads to decrease their beauty.  The second weird custom is that after her wedding her father spits on her head and breasts. Spitting is again a symbol of disgrace usually but in Massai nation it is thought to bring good luck and fortune. Then she leaves for her new home with her husband and never looks back. The husband doesn’t stay in the house in which she stays for the next two days and then her mother in law shaves her head. This commences the wedding ceremony declaring them man and wife for life.
