Hi guys, today I’m going to talk about a special celebration.

In January of 2017, I celebrated Chinese New Year in Singapore. I was staying with my best friend’s family so we prepared by going to Chinatown and bought a lot of decorations for the house, like Rooster posters and some fake flowers to decorate the entrance of the house. That year was the year of the Rooster, so the streets were full of chickens and Roosters decorations. I remember turning in one street and seeing a giant Rooster balloon and people doing like a presentation, it was really colorful and beautiful.

At lunch we ate a traditional Chinese meal. The “Yuu Sahng”. It is considered as a symbol of abundance. The food consist of strips of salmon and a lot of vegetables that are mixed with a lot of sauces and condiments. You put them in a big plate and mix it with your chopsticks, take a little of the mixed food and rise saying a phrase in Chinese that I don’t remember and then you eat it. I didn’t et that much because the food looked like plastic with all the neon colors.

I really enjoyed this New Year’s celebration because I found it really different from here, actually New year is my least favorite holiday of Chile.
