(Ii) from the wholesale market comes back, the Manager will take us directly to the cooperating company farewell dinner in Sudan scheduled hotel, the original is in the City 17 tour had a rest in Khartoum, on en Omdurman district on the edge of the Nile River Park-style restaurant. Just sit down, waiter went to ask what needs near, hosted by hasn't come, and we only have each point a drink, enjoying the evening's exotic Nile side, waiting for the arrival of the host. Host elaborate seating capacity, in the center of the Park, sitting here to look around to every corner of orchard. From time to time have to Park leisure of Sudan people from our past, we are facing this group more than look at a few foreigners. Suddenly a group of people in Sudan, the crowd has an adult male and adult female 3-4, 5, children age. Men go to the front of the crowd, one woman obviously is a smile during pregnancy, caressing the stomach of slowly in the crowd. "Your guess that basket?" one woman hand carrying a basket of interest caused by the team leader. We have to say is a beverage, there is a fruit, some say is the food. Team leader said: you are right, must be a child. This group of people in the table and sat down, the woman carrying a basket will drop basket, reached out to remove the article, it really was really is a NIP. Head of laughs: don't look at our Regiment, the leader of this small minimum age, it is the most experienced and knowledgeable. Looking at a large group of people sitting at a table and laughing, on the relations between them some doubts. Mr. HO tells us that the adult man must be the three Sudanese woman's husband, this is a typical polygamous families in Sudan. As long as economic conditions allow, the Sudanese man can have four lawful wife and four of the lawful wife in the family status are the same. Unfortunately at this time it was already dark, in the hands of point and click, you cannot take the three wives of his happiness. I joke of Mr. HO said: three wife actually be able to get along, Sudan men multiple happiness? no wonder Xiao he to Sudan will not want to leave? Mr. HO said: not every Sudan men marry up to four wives, no money alone is four wife, a wife and you can't afford to go. In Sudan, a wife of the bride, not ordinary people can get out of. Nature is balanced, a man was born at the same time will be born of a woman. Men can marry several wives, no money to marry has no wife sure to keep Bach. A man marry four women as wives, means that the world to produce more than three married wife Hoodlum. This excess is society Bachelor not potential instability? from this perspective, or monogamy is able to maintain the harmony of human society. Just then the Sudanese partners host here, if this card and his partner, Deputy General Manager of Abdullah, dressed in traditional national costume, a white robe, head circumference white turban, was against the night solemn and sacred. See us smile, card if doubt ask Mr. HO we laugh? Mr. He opened a joke said: I am and they play a bet, that is, who can guess you have several wives. Card if listened to put their right hand index finger, smiled and said: one wife, one wife. Look at the card to the exaggerated expression everyone laugh. Today Farewell Banquet feast is typical of the Sudan, the first of course or a bottle of mineral water per person, and a variety of drinks, tea. Secondly, bread, vegetables, and is what six small dishes was made from soy, not to be missed are the meal before each feature a bowl of porridge in Sudan, today only to know the original not corn porridge but sorghum flour into. Card to the General Manager and another friend Abdullah, Deputy General Manager of Sudan have been to visit Tianjin, they skillfully use a variety of eating right hand movements, and they, and our two hands and it also reveals the clumsy. They smiled and said to us: we take the Chinese chopsticks when accessed than you now can be stupid. We learn to host method, first pick up lemon will juice sandwiched porridge, a mouthful of products that say for the first time. Then all vegetable and bread with jam, sent to his mouth, I made these products may have Sesame, groundnuts, beans, potatoes, at the made of salt taste in a through-with or without the temptation of fragrance, no perception of forgotten when you last ate dinner in Sudan, a bowl of porridge, bread drink also ate a lot, belly up at dinner yet again before almost full. And so the rice roasted beef steak, fried chicken leg, fish (I don't know how to do), grilled lamb composition came up with four-in-one meals, we have no appetite for basic before eating it. Sudan banquet dinner table while there is no domestic variety of dishes, than it is much more to do in China, but more often we all stuffy head eating their own portion of the meal, it is to meet the needs of the human diet, banquet of weakening domestic communication functions. Now, hear not far away there came the firecrackers. Card if there is textual v. our wedding, and said that if you are interested in for a meal we can go to help celebrate, Sudanese wedding process very much hope that the presence of foreign guests accidents because they think that this is the main party guests, is a great honour. In accordance with the habits, generally after dinner, the evening dinner in Sudan at 9-10 point, now celebrated is conducted before supper, the wedding end will be a celebration dinner, you can say that this wedding was carried out in the afternoon. Sudanese people celebrated before supper, this reminds me of Tianjin City unique in afternoon wedding customs, is both practices between certain origins?
