The best thing about living in another country is getting to experience customs and traditions you wouldn't usually see. Take the festival of Thaipusam. This is a Hindu festival involving much pain in return for getting a wish granted by the gods. Praying for a new TV? Why not walk a few kms with limes hanging off hooks from your chest. A new car? That'll be a huge needle through the lip. Something bigger? You're looking at a whole world of pain...
You definitely wouldn't see this in Bishops Stortford.
