Holidays in Other Countries

How and why English was used on these sites? What did you learn from them?

All these websites use English to teach about holidays in their own countries as a way of letting other people, who doesn´t share their languages, know some special and important things about their cultures.
 
They use English because as we all know it is the most spoken language all over the world, and it's easier for the people who visit their websites to read something in English than in the native language of these countries.

I've learned from all the four websites that people in these countries are very concerned about their manners and traditions. They always are trying to keep their traditions and to teach others about them. They also enjoy sharing those moments with foreigners who respect and enjoy their holidays. Something curious to me was that maybe they are more concerned about their own customs than us.
