Olá / Oi
The Hornbill Festival (first week of December) at Kisama Heritage Village near Kohima is one of India's most extraordinary cultural events — all 16 Naga tribes perform together in traditional dress, with warrior dances, folk music, and traditional food stalls. Book accommodation in Kohima months in advance for festival week. The WWII cemetery on Garrison Hill, Kohima — where the British and Indian armies halted the Japanese advance in 1944 — is hauntingly beautiful.
Cariocas (Rio residents) are warm and physical — hugs and cheek-kisses are normal greetings.
🇮🇳 Nagaland Fun Fact
Nagaland is home to 16 major Naga tribes, each with its own distinct language, costume, and traditions — tribes that were historically headhunting enemies of each other. The last recorded headhunting raid occurred in 1969. Today over 90% of Nagas are Christian — the result of American Baptist missionary work in the 19th century — making it one of the most intensely Christian regions in Asia. The state has no alcohol prohibition but produces no commercial wine.
🇧🇷 Rio de Janeiro Fun Fact
Rio's Christ the Redeemer statue is struck by lightning an average of 6 times per year.
