This is a bit off the subject you were actually commenting on, but when I went
to Russia a few years ago, I noticed that the Russian people wear their
wedding rings on their right hand - just the opposite of Americans.  

I  never asked where the custom came from - but thought it was interesting to
note that it was different.
