It's a really fun text to read.
It's so funny that I even doubt all of it is true. Some parts sounds so much like a joke... I'm still confused.

Oh, uhh sorry. It's all true. Is that not clear?
What are you confused about?

It's not that confusing, really. Maybe I just read it too fast at first.
Howerever, I had more trouble with two particular sentences:
>>Then, you should wait until everyone else is done before drinking their wine to the bottom.<<
Should 'their' be 'your' ?
>>[...]a large ram or goat's horn called the khantsi is brought[...]<<
would be easier to catch if you add brackets:
>>[...]a large ram or goat's horn (called the khantsi) is brought[...]<<
The proximity of 'call' and 'horn' misleaded me for a while into thinking that the Horn was a wind musical instrument.
But maybe it's just me.

I see. It should be your instead of their and the brackets are a good idea. I don't claim to have good grammar

I can't claim I have a better grammar.
I actually learned english mostly by myself...
I'm also the kind of guy who kickly writes posts and think about them later. I often wish I could update some.
However, I'm happy I could give a hand.

I know exactly what you mean. Aboot ten minutes ago, I made a dumb comment. I wish I could update it.
I don't worry too much aboot grammar. If it gets recommended, a Subed will fix it, if not, who cares?
