In Zimbabwe, greetings are different then they are here. They kiss each other on the cheeks and say Mhoroi. Which even though Zimbabwe speaks mostly English, they still say Mhoroi which means 'Hello'.
If a marriage has been set up for a girl by her parents, then the girl is to move in with the boys family, to their town. The girls are normally at age 10-15. Arranged marriages are very common in Zimbabwe.

In Zimbabwe, a child or baby, isn't considered a human being yet, until is has grown in its first few teeth. But until then, the child and mother are not yet worthy members of the society.
Children learn a lot in a short amount of time in Zimbabwe. By the age of four, a child can wash itself, dress itself, talk very clearly, and do chores around the house.
What they consider to be 'educated' in Zimbabwe is if the child knows how to take care of themselves and others. They are educated when they can dress themselves, do chores, take care of siblings, bake things, etc.

Zimbabweans eat things like Sadza ( like a pancake ) that is normally eaten for dinner, Roasted Butternut Squash, Cornmeal Cake, Rock Shandy, etc. When large families get together in Zimbabwe, the host will slay one of their goats or cows, and roast them in a bon-fire during the family get-together.
They wear a lot of average day to day t-shirts in Zimbabwe. But in the poorer areas they attire the older clothing. Golden wraps around the neck, long beaded necklaces for the women, and head dresses, the cover the whole head, neck and shoulders. Also, in Zimbabwe, if you are not clean and you wear a matter of fine clothing, it is said to be 'unworthy'.
Religions in Zimbabwe used to be nothing but 90% Catholic. But with more people moving in, the religions spread to consist of 1% Muslim, 1% Islam, and 40-50% Roman Catholics. Some other not as popular religions would be: Methogist, Hinduism, and Buddhism.
