Viewing figures for this blog have shot up lately, driven in part by an increase in Russian followers. In fact for the first time ever Russia tops the month's league table.
To mark this occasion Mr Blog has found a few customs which are prevalent in Russia and which should be shared with the rest of the world...

A woman with empty water buckets coming towards you is considered a bad omen.
A group of two or more people should not walk on different sides of a tree. They should all keep to one side or the other.
Bread should only be cut with a knife, not with your hands. Otherwise, it is said, that your life will be broken. The opposite is held true by some people.
Two or more people should never use one towel at the same time to dry their hands or bodies, or it is said to bring conflict.
A stranger should not look at a newborn baby before it is a certain age (between two months and one year). If one looks at the baby it is considered bad luck to compliment it. Instead, one could say, “Oh, what an ugly child!”.
It’s good luck to trip on your left foot.
