3. Sobremasa - Spain

sobremasa

The meal together becomes an important moment in the family. At times like this, parents and children not only eat together but also talk about anything. In the past, we often do this. This is natural, considering that old people were very strict with regulations. But now, the moment of eating as well as talking with family is very rarely done. After eating, the children usually run away to their rooms and carry out their activities.

Apparently, in Spain also applies these rules. After eating, we are not allowed to leave the table just like that. All you have to do is sit for a while to talk and let the body process the food that is entering. The Spaniards call this custom as sobremasa.

Before packing and flying to Japan, it is important for you to pay attention to the do's and don'ts in Japan. This is considering that Japan is a country that highly upholds regulations and ethics.

For example in the matter of eating. There are many ethics that need to be known when eating. Like not allowed to stick chopsticks in a rice bowl, it is forbidden to lick chopsticks, not be able to give a tip to the chef, and one of them is to eat sound. In Japan, it is perfectly permissible to have to make a sound meal when eating ramen and soup. Making a sound like "slurpp" must be done to respect the chef. Sounding like that indicates that we enjoy the food served by the chef.

But if your daughter has become increasingly difficult to contact, you should be suspicious.

One sign that a man is having an affair is that he is increasingly difficult to be contacted. If contacted there must be a reason. Whether it's busy studying, working, or being with friends.

There are still links with the points above. A man who is having an affair must be getting hard to contact. Once asked what the reason is, there is always a reason. If your partner has begun to show signs of many reasons, it could be that he is playing behind you ladies.

Of course women also still have to prioritize logical thoughts. Think in advance whether the reason given makes sense or not. If not, just try asking again in a more convincing tone.

Men, by the time they start paying attention to their appearance, you women must be suspicious. Who usually wears T-shirts, now turns into shirts. Usually hair disheveled, now starting to use pomade. It may be that they began to pay attention to appearance because they want to attract the hearts of other women.

6. Be More Closed

The nature or character of a man is certainly only known by his partner. Is he an open or closed person (introverted). If he is indeed an introvert, there is no need to worry. The thing to worry about is when you know your partner's character is open, then he suddenly turns closed.

Closed here can be caused by many things. Starting from stress because of family, work, or it could be because of the presence of other women. Everything can have an impact on the love relationship that is being lived. Especially if it is true that because of the presence of other women, for this one should be resolved as soon as possible.

However, there are still people who are just ordinary with mobile phones. Everywhere he does not need to hold his handphone too often. Open the handphone if there is notification.

Changing partners become more sticky with smartphones or who are really sticky with this smartphone needs to find out the cause. If he's really a gamer, there's no need to worry. Different story if he sticks with his cellphone because he started to chat with other women. Or start the beautiful women's social media lyrics.

3. Changing Routines

routines

When it is paired up, we can more or less know the routine activities of our partners. From Monday to Sunday what he usually does and with whom, there must be a picture in the head of each partner right? If there are changes, as long as it is not often, there is certainly no need to be overly suspicious.

Suspicion can begin to be given if his usual routine starts to change completely. For example, if there is a schedule where he does his hobbies like sports where he doesn't want to be disturbed even by his own girlfriend. But at one moment, his favorite routine began to not be carried out and began to reason that something strange, maybe this could be a sign that he had another woman in his life.

Unfortunately for men who are forgetful, forgetting the date of the date can result in the relationship becoming crumpled or tangled. It's even worse if the woman knows that you actually remember the date of the anniversary, but deliberately breaks promises because there are promises with other people. Other women for example, this will obviously make the relationship can be hot.

1. Reduced intimacy

intimacy

Romance without a sense of intimacy? It was very impossible. The intimacy that is meant here is not just an intimate relationship like husband and wife, but the quality of your relationship from each meeting and chat. If you just chat just eat or not, that's still elementary school children can also do it. Of course when an adult has to know what kind of a good relationship must be created.

The intimacy of a love relationship is obliged to be created and maintained. It's better if it can be improved than before. Up and down is natural, but if intimacy actually goes down, it is necessary to call yourself and together introspection. What actually happened, was it because the man had already had another tether or something.

Laws or regulations are made to be obeyed. After all, if there is no law, social and state life can be chaotic. The law made was adjusted to the conditions of the country concerned. In a number of countries in the world, there are countries that apply very strict laws. For people who break them can get a very heavy law. It seems cruel and unfair, but each country has its own methods and laws that must be obeyed. Here are a number of countries in the world that have very strict laws.

10. Chinese

China

As one of the countries in a highly developed industry, China must make regulations as strict as possible so that its citizens obey. This can have an impact on foreign countries' assessment of China. There is no benefit if the industry is advanced but the country lives in chaos. So don't be surprised China can now be so advanced and become one of America's challengers to become a super power or superpower.

China is one of the countries in the world that still implements a communist government. As we all know, communism is an understanding whose main purpose is to create an equal social life in all fields. The government is like a god, where its citizens must obey the government.

As a communist state, there are many aspects of people's lives that are very limited by the state.

For example, talking about government can cause problems. Not only local residents, but tourists must also obey the law. All kinds of activities on the internet are monitored by the government. Speaking and writing about things that are anti-government will be arrested and jailed. Even so, Cuba remains a magnet for tourists, where free parties are held and drinking alcoholic beverages is strictly permitted.

8. Syria

syria

Speaking of Syria, people immediately think of a Muslim-majority country where battles often occur. It is true that Syria is currently a country in conflict. Violence is common and happens almost every day and everywhere. This conflict occurred between the government and the rebels.

The reason for the rebellion occurred because the rebels really did not like the actions of the government that was too regulating the lives of its people. A number of regulations were made to curb people's freedom of life. Communication is restricted, the internet is turned off, and information media is also restricted for the benefit of the government. They are news journalists who want to convey the facts, are arrested, tortured, and sentenced to death by the government.

Many aspects of people's lives are regulated directly by the government. Social media is prohibited in Iran. Getting caught accessing it like Google can bring problems. Do you think it's still not strict? Wait until you live and become citizens there, where you are not allowed to cut hair in a careless fashion except those already regulated by Islamic law. Women everywhere must wear clothes that are completely closed. Music such as rap, jazz and rock are forbidden.

3. North Korea

north korea

At a time when people increasingly want to live freely, it seems very difficult to find a country that still has a communist system of government. The communist government system requires all citizens to obey and submit to the ruling government. No one is rich, no one is poor, all are equal. But the minus is, there is no freedom.

North Korea is one of the countries that still uses the system.

Especially for women, they are prohibited from going out of the house in casual clothes. So, they must use clothes completely covered from toe to head.

That is also if you get permission.

Citizens of Equatorial Guinea are prohibited from learning to read and write. This can be seen from the absence of bookstores open in the country.

The limitations of science and technology make people easily feared by something that is still unclear. The sailors for example, the ocean is a vast area on Earth where there are still many things that have not been touched by human hands. This gives rise to many myths of unclear origins that make them believe and some are afraid. There are a lot of unclear or false myths about the seas that are believed by sailors today. It does not even rule out there are still people who believe too until now. What are these myths? The following explanation.

10. Tattoos Can Ward Off Damn

Today's netizens assume that people who use tattoos are bad, thug, and weird people. Though there are some people who think that tattoos are an art. People's names can be different, it doesn't matter. Different now, different also in the past, ancient people believed that tattoos were a good thing.

The sailors from Europe have a belief that tattoos are things that can reject bad luck or bring good luck. This myth developed like mushrooms and was very trusted in the 18th century. Tattoos are also made not arbitrary. Tattoos of animals are believed to protect ship crews from bad luck.

9. Eggshells Can Call Hurricanes

storm

Ancient sailors were very afraid of the name of the storm and also witches. This fear of magicians has been around for hundreds of thousands of years. And the story of the most famous wizard to date is the story of witch Salem. The myth that will be discussed has a relationship between sailors, storms, and also magicians.

Ancient seafarers believed that storms did not occur due to natural phenomena or the presence of prohibited objects brought on board which were believed to be able to summon storms. The eggshell can also be a tool to cause a storm. In the hands of a witch, the eggshell can be used as a boat and summoned a storm to sink the ship. So in ancient times, people were obliged to crush eggs to pieces to prevent them from being used by magicians.

8. Banana Carrier Damn

bananas

Nobody wants to get unlucky. Especially if it happens to sailors. Yes, just imagine if you go out to sea and then suddenly stricken with storms, large sea creatures, ships leak, and so forth. The risk can be the life of the bet. Although in fact natural events there must be a scientific explanation, but in the past people were more superstitious and mythical than science.

Rather than being hit by bad luck, the sailors prefer to look safe. There are things that can be considered bad luck, will not be transported to the ship. One of the objects considered to be pesky in ancient times was banana. For sailors, bananas are believed to make fish catches to be reduced. This was believed by people in the 1700s.

7. Lucky Coins

lucky coins

Everyone must have a talisman. Amulets can be anything, the point is that things are believed to be able to bring good luck and protect us from danger. Even ancient people were the same, they had faith in that. For sailors, one of the things that is believed to bring good luck is a coin.

The sailors are aware that crossing the vast ocean is very dangerous. Even though we are careful, we cannot predict what will happen during the ocean voyage. To prevent bad things from happening, good luck coins are brought. These coins are spread and placed in several places on the ship. This belief in fortune coins first began in ancient Rome. Maybe this belief still exists now.

6. Earrings Can Prevent Sinking

earrings

Nobody can prevent a storm from happening. Many myths are believed to cause a storm. Although already doing taboo, sometimes the storm still comes. This is natural because the storm is a natural phenomenon. But people at that time did not easily believe. If abstinence has been carried out, there are still more things they do if the storm still occurs. The assumption is that if plan A fails, there is still plan B.

Plan B prepared by the sailors, which actually is still a myth is an earring. The sailors believe that earrings have other functions besides fashion. Earrings are believed to make people unable to sink. That's why many seamen used to use earrings to prevent them from sinking when the ship was attacked by a storm.

5. Albatros Symbol of Luck

albatross

There are so many bad myths that spread in the ears of sailors, yes, none of them are good. If there are many things that can cause a trip on the boat, then what can be done when the bad thing comes. Or is there something that is believed to ward off bad luck?

The answer is there. There is a myth that says that albatross birds are good luck birds. The albatross is believed to carry the souls of deceased sailors. These seaman souls or spirits then guide, advise, and protect fellow seamen. However, it would be a bad thing if someone hurt the albatross.

4. Mermaid

mermaid

Myths about mermaids have been solved by science. Scientists theorize that mermaids are actually sea animals called dugongs. Why people can mistake the dugong as a mermaid is because the person's vision is blurred or unclear when in the water. So dugongs are thought to be humans with fish tails.

In ancient times, the sailors strongly believed in the name mermaid or mermaid. Anyone who sees a mermaid and gets anesthetized by her beauty will be pulled and drowned by the mermaid at the bottom of the ocean. So the sailors are very anti and avoid as much as possible when looking at mermaids.

3. Whistles Can Call Storms

Whistling

Today, all natural phenomena that occur in the oceans can already be explained scientifically. Few people still believe unclear myths. However, at a time when science is not as advanced as now, those who work in the ocean believe more in the myth of seeking safety. Who also wants to be harmed when it sails.

For sailors, storms are a natural phenomenon that does not want to be encountered when sailing. Big or small storms, which are called storms can still bring big problems. In ancient times, there was a myth where those who whistle when sailing, it is tantamount to calling a storm. That's why the seamen of old no one wants to try to whistle.

2. Women on Ships Will Bring Bad Luck

woman

Pirates of the Caribbean is one of the pirate-themed films filled by top Hollywood artists such as Johnny Depp, Keira Knightly, and Orlando Bloom. If you often watch the film, are you aware that there are almost no female crew on board the captain Jack Sparrow? One of Jack Sparrow's crew said that the presence of women on board could bring disaster. Believe me, the myth is true.

The ancient sailors did believe that the existence of women could bring misfortune to the ship and its crew. Storms can come due to the presence of women on board. If a statue of a woman in the form of a ship is placed at the end of the ship, it can still be done. But if humans are genuine, it can't be.

1. Flat Earth

flat earth

Thanks to technology and science today, we come to know how big the Earth is and how it looks. It is known that the Earth has a round shape, not 100% round like a ball but round like an egg. The photo evidence can also be easily found on Google. Even so, there are people who believe that the Earth is flat. If this happened in ancient times, surely we can still understand it.

One thing that makes sailors afraid to sail away is the belief in the shape of the flat Earth. Naturally, because indeed at that time technology and science were still not as advanced as now. Evidence of the shape of the Earth is still missing. So sailors are reluctant to go sailing too far. They are afraid that they will eventually fall into a place that is either located and cannot return.
