Well, their weddings are very different. Lots of music and dance and very intricate costumes. I've been to... 3 weddings so far. For the party afterwards they block off the street and play music very loudly until nighttime. Also their traditional fabric (batik) is very beautiful and commonly worn. One tradition that takes some getting used to though is the lack of toilet paper... they use the left hand instead, which is why it's very impolite to use your left hand when greeting, giving or taking things, and if you eat with it they'll look at you funny.

Wow, sounds like the wedding are seriously awesome. And with the left hand idea, I'm right handed anyway, so I guess I'd be fine with that. But god, sounds seriously awesome!

I'm left handed... it's been tough

:( But hey, must be worth it for the awesome party-weddings!

I'd say this experience is worth it! and not just for the weddings.

Yeah! You're lucky, the only other country I've been to, outside of England, is Ireland and France. France was a day trip :c

I've never been to Europe... I'd really like to go there someday

Well, since you're from the USA, I'll just say if you do, watch out for the drunk 18 year old guys and, if you go into Britain, watch out for the chavs/delinquents.
