There has been a significant contribution from the Aceh community but we have also had posts from Hong Kong, Japan, Morocco, South Africa, Malaysia and the UAE.

Inspiration is all around us. It may be a daily ritual where you live or a local passion that always reminds you of home.
Here I wil lcall out some recent posts that stand out and really capture the spirit and the vision of this tag. There have been so many already this month, this is just a small selection but for more you can check out the #culturevulture tag. Winners of this months prize will be announced at the end of the month, but I have no doubt these posts are in the shortlist.

My last contribution to this challenge is part of a series on Irish Pubs in Ireland, The Irish Pub & A Dirty Old Town...
Tell us a bit about the ritual and fill in the details about why, how, and the cultural background. Don't forget a few pictures to bring it to life. We prefer posts with some original photography. It's ok to use some stock photos (but reference the source) as long as these photos are not the main focus of the post. We are looking to reward original stories for this challenge.
For more details about the rules and examples of what we are interested in check out this months announcement post Culture Vulture Challenge August $30 SBD Prize
July Challenge
50 SBD was paid out in the July Challenge. The results can be found at https://steemit.com/culturevulture/@eroche/culture-vulture-challenge-july-results

Your article is very interesting, I really like the contents of the article.
Saman dance is an original culture that has been popular and recognized by the world. Saman dance became popular because the residents of the place created saman dance 90% master saman dance, so saman dance so popular and claimed one of the aceh cultural dance.
If viewed from history, the dance of aceh adat is sedati. Since there are not many who mastered at that time then Saman dance became one of the aceh dances.
Very interesting.
Thank you infinitely, @eroche. I think, with #culturevulture we will find various arts and cultures in the world, and will unveil brilliant things in the course of human life in all corners of the planet. Know each other will bring a sense of mutual respect. It's something the world needs.
