Thank you guys for shearing your most missed traditions in your countries. I would like to talk to you about my favorite tradition since I am in my home ( I’m from Iraq) and not aboard. My favorite one is the spring celebration and the story behind it is that people in the past were relaying on agriculture to secure their lives. So they welcome the spring season after the drought and cold season which is the winter.

Hello everyone. I am Daniel from Hong Kong. I would like to share some traditions of my hometown after reading many amusing traditions of yours. The festival I love the most is the Chinese New Year, we will gather all of the family and relatives together, those who cannot come would also send their regards, then we will have a big and nice banquet. I used to play some little fireworks with my cousins when I was younger, however, it was prohibited by the government later. We can no longer light up anything even in the countryside. For the adults, it is a good chance for some of them to drink until they passed out, while others will be playing majiang or just chatting. Here comes the most existing part! The red packets which contain money !! This is what we been waiting for the whole night. Everyone who is not married will receive red packets from each elder and their blessings. Chinese New Year which is of paramount importance to Chinese, and we would not miss every single one of it.

Hello everyone. I'm kaito. I'm 20 years old. I will talk about Japanese tradition. There are a lot of tradition and custom around the globe. Today, I would like to introduce two Japanese tradition. The first is a kimono. Kimono is a Japanese traditional culture that is proud of the world that has been received and nurtured over a long history. Originally, kimono was handed down from China during the Nara period, and kimono has undergone various changes in japan over time. Currently, a lot of people wear kimono at various events such as summer festival, shichi-go-san festival, coming of age ceremony and New Year’s Day, so kimono is a wonderful Japanese tradition. The second is rakugo. Rakugo is a type of traditional storytelling that was established in japan during the Edo period and has been handed down to the present day. Unlike other performing acts such as Noh and Kabuki, there is reliance on costumes, tools, and music, so you can play many roles by yourself, and use narrative and hand gestures to carry on the story. In addition, it is a unique performing art that expresses everything using a fan and hand towel. I have often seen rakugo on TV, but I have never seen it live performance, so I would like to go to see rakugo.
