PHILIPPINES 2016: GOOD BYE AND THANK YOU 2015, WELCOME 2016

January 01, 2016

Jeff first time celebrating new year in the Philippines, he's amazed with how we celebrate it because fireworks continue until 2 am in the morning and not only that, it start early in the evening. Because in South Korea not celebrating the new years eve as much as we do here in the Philippines, in Korea it's so quite and almost all people already sleeping when the 12 midnight comes, my first New years eve in Korea It was strange for me, they didn't even prepare food etc. it was really nothing for them. Because they follow the Chinese Calendar (Chinese new year), that day they prepare food but still quite, and no fireworks etc.

Jeff and I usually just go to park (ulsan park) to watch fireworks display on new years eve, they only do the fireworks in one place like park but some people wake up early in the morning to watch and welcome the first sun of the year, they said you can wish and it will give luck in your life for the whole year.

Here in the Philippines we usually celebrate the New Years Eve by preparing special foods and fruits, same in Christmas eve all our family are complete, we enjoy dancing by the loud sound, new years eve is the noisiest and happiest time of the year the same with other countries. Children dancing and enjoy the firecracker outside the street, my parents usually collect the coins to throw it away for us, we do the noise to scare away the bad evil spirits and welcoming the luck for the whole year.

I will treasure this 2015 new year celebration. Family complete. Happiness overload

How about you guys how you celebrate the New Years Eve in you country? That's all for now see you next blog post, I hope you have a wonderful new years a head.
