I am always surprised how differnt customs people from different cultures have. My favorite example is the one I heard at Genevieve Bell's presentation at Stanford HCI seminar

I do not remember, which country this was from (somewhere in SouthEast Asia), but in this culture the people believe that they can send messages, material, etc to the dead people by burning that stuff. Hence those people were not only burning money, but also mobile phones and pre-paid cards, so that their loved ones could call them even after their death.
