New Year’s Customs

Filed under: Main Blog,Travel Tidbits — alena @ 11:00 am

Trying to decide how to celebrate the new year? Here are some ways the locals celebrate in countries around the world:

Portugal: Eat 12 grapes for each strike of the clock at midnight for good luck.

Netherlands: Eat a ring shaped food such as a donut to “come full circle” in the new year.

Peru: Walk around the block with a suitcase to bring travels.

Italy: Wear red underwear for good luck. (They wear yellow in Peru!)

Japan: Ring bells to dispel evil temptations.
