I am always curious about things that exist beyond the place where I live.I think somebody else may be the same as me.So will you please introduce some special or interesting custom in your country or city?In china,I think the most popular and interesting custom should be the "Chinese New Year" which is called "Spring Festival" or "Sending off the Year".In the old Chinese tale,"Year" is a very ferocious monster who can destroy all the plants.During the Spring Festival,we explode firecracker,post couplet and eat dumpling .We do not go to work and congratulate each other. Now,it is the turn to you to say something interesting to us,will you?
