Unwashed plates

Saturday night
If two lovers do not sleep together in one bed in Saturday-to-Sunday night, soon their friendship or love relations will crash.

If you go as a guest to your past or present school teacher’s house, you must take and give him/her a loaf of bread. If you do not do it, it means that you are stingy and soon you’ll forget everything you’ve learnt at school.
