Culture

   Nowadays travel around the world is very easy, just take a plane you can go to everywhere you want. Therefore to face many people form many different countries with different cultures is inevitable. Culture is the way behavior and belief that is rooted in someone's life when they were born. It can be related with religions, weather, food, politics, history and anything you will face in the life. To judge a culture is not good and impolite, maybe sometimes you encounter a culture and you think it is unreasonable in another country. But you have to learn to respect, because this is the way that they have lived for hundred years and they are used to live with it.

   The most important culture in my country is Chinese New Year. It is the biggest festival for us, and we celebrate this depend on lunar calender instead of official calender. That is the reason why we celebrate it in different days in different years. The main goal of this festival is to gather your relatives together not just your family member. We usually have a sumptuous meal at the night before the festival, and all relatives come back and eat together, that is the best thing for me every year. In addition people will wear new clothes, all stores will be closed, and people spend all these days with relative that maybe you could not see them in a year. You share your story and play games with each other. By the way children can get money in red envelopes from older people. That is the best thing for children and can be a nightmare for older people.
