Local customs and traditions can be quite interesting in how they differ from city life.

In Moscow, for Eid al-Adha (or other major religious holidays), people simply come to the mosques around 9 in the morning, pray together, and then leave.
In the village, everything starts before 6 in the morning. People gather, pray together, and then go to the cemetery to visit their relatives' graves.

When guests are entertained, dishes are served in an unusual order. In the city, it's always first course, second course, then tea with pastries. Here, they start with sweet tea, then soup and meat.
