Seashore Honeymoons Are Popular Around The World
"Although it is not very uncommon that husband finds himself courting his wife after marriage, Hollywood type of love and marriage is gradually influencing urban people in India," said Kastri Rangan, Jaya Sadan, India, graduate student.
Wedding ceremonies and customs may differ in countries throughout the world, but all nations seem to agree on the necessity of honeymoons.
Young couples the world over like the seashore for their honeymoons. Such places as Acapulco, Mexico, the Great arrier Reef in Australia, and Simla and Darjeeling in India are counted as favorite places for honeymooning. Young Greek couples would rather spend their wedding night on some tiny Aegean island than anywhere else while newlyweds in Japan prefer going to a hot spring spa.
"If there is a promising young man of marriageable age, his uncle or relatives who know him well take trouble to find him a future wife," Rangan said. "The man first lets his opinion be known about the prospective marriage after seeing a young woman two or three times, but the girl has the right to refuse to marry him, too," he said.
In Korea, the favorite honeymoon places are Pusan on the southern tip of the peninsula and the east coast. The most popular place, Wonsan, is now behind the communist lines.
Courting After Marriage
"Many weddings are held in April, September or October but fall is preferred because it is the crop season and it is easier to have a big feast, which is an important part of wedding," said Hee Kyung Chung, Seoul, Korea, graduate student.
"The bridegroom remains in bride's home for three days after the wedding. It is a sort of orientation period for the bride," Miss Chung added.

"Mid-summer is the best season for weddings in Finland," said Lars Kald, Vasa, Finland graduate student. "I think it is the remnant of old custom of wedding in the open in mid-summer when the day is the longest of the year. It is also the most beautiful and romantic season with lots of flowers."
"We have a special occasion for the young in Brazil," said Heitor Souza, Sao Lourenge, Brazil, graduate student.

The occasion is called 'Juninas' and we burn firecrackers and make bonfires to cook sweet potatoes."

No Ribbon Of Honor For Her
A University woman student, eager to complete her semester's classwork which included typing a paper, borrowed her roommate's typewriter without permission.
She noticed a typewriter ribbon container on a corner of the desk, and decided to put a new ribbon in the machine before beginning her work.
"If I am going to use Susie's typewriter, this is the least I can do for her." she thought.
Forty-five minutes later, after winding the ribbon around her hands and arms several times, she succeeded in placing it on the spools correctly.
She threw the old ribbon, unwound and a tangled mess, into the wastepaper basket and washed the stain off her hands.
About two hours later the roommate returned to the room.
"Oh, that's all right," was the reply.
"Oh Susie," the typewriter borrower said, "I hope you don't mind—I've been using your typewriter."
"And, Susie, I put the new ribbon in your typewriter for you."
"What new ribbon?" Susie asked.
"Well, the one that was on the desk."
