Like our national Thanksgiving holiday, all hearts turn toward home for the New Year celebration and people go to extraordinary lengths to get home. The 2 week long festival allows you to catch up with family and childhood friends.
For the students here, even though there are student celebrations, you could see how they all missed being with family. Even so, they were willing to share the various family traditions, some quite funny! And we learned that red is a very important color, symbol of strength and courage and victory!
The evening was capped off with a celebration of a special birthday and yummy dessert!
