* Top 3 For the tribes of the Hauts Plateaux, Madagascar-turn corpse festival

Turning to dead to most of us, death is a solemn experience, a time of quiet reflection, sorrow and loss. Not so for the tribes of the Hauts Plateaux, Madagascar, who exhume their dead ancestors in the mind-blowing Famadihana. Famadihana is a funerary tradition of the Malagasy people in Madagascar. Known as the turning of the bones, people bring forth the bodies of their ancestors from the family crypts and wrap them in fresh cloth, then dance with the corpses around the tomb to live music. You'd never know they were Catholics. But this country has different with the concept, Madagascar specific of a representation of the memory of the dead. In Madagascar, death is not forever. The dead enter the realm of the spirits. Hey live in trees, in animals, in the air. To see the remains of their loved ones, Madagascar heart may feel sad. But, turning the corpse section prohibits crying. Because crying will make the deceased is not happy. Although the family may shed some tears over the remains of their loved ones, crying soon turns to smiles. Family members turn up from far and wide for the Famadihana, which happens only every seven years in any given family. Some travel entire days on foot to attend the two-day festivities. Far from gloomy, it's a great party, more like a wedding than a funeral, with much dancing to accordion music and drinking of gasoline-like rum. If you want to attend a Famadihana, it happens exclusively in the Central Highlands between July and September. Ask around. Foreigners are often warmly welcomed, though few Westerners have actually ever seen one. You can. But you'd better be prepared to dance.
