I think that a environment where everyone works 80+ hours for so long time is very risky. Any time sooner someone will have a servere crisis of mania and kill everyone.
Well, I did have a crisis after some weeks working 52 hours with the one CS end of semester. I didn't killed anyone, but get very delusional. It's a hard outcome to face.
Oops! I am missing some points...
So there are engagement rings and wedding bands? I miss translated the term, I think.
Another difference: most people here use just the same ring: when it is on the right ring, is a engagement ring, and when it is on the left hand, is a wedding ring...
But there are rings for silver/golden wedding. These are becaming rare:-)
Here, the most common (popular sense) engagement rings are just simple gold rings without any gem or decoration. There are rings with a diamond or sapphire, but they are far from being a tradition.
Aside cultural differences, I think the main reason is that most brazilian people could not afford diamond rings. My engagement rings cost just about $40 to $50.
So, in my oppinion, there is no need of a diamond. But, perhaps, someone in other country will say that is no need of ring at all:-).
