Italy
What Italians do is they bring a broom to a new home and sweep away the evil spirits that might still be lingering somewhere around the house. Your Italian neighbors will also deliver some uncooked rice – a symbol of fertility and blessing that they spread over the home. No doubt, you wil be offered candles to keep your home bright and some olive oil to ensure faithfulness.
Kenya
In Kenya a typical housewarming gift is a traditional Luo oxtail fly whisk as well as a three-legged stool. American President Obama received exactly the same gift from one of his relatives. As we know, Obama’s father is a native Kenyan.
