The turn of the new year is one of the most awaited moments by all people in various parts of the world. Most of us celebrate the new year by gathering with family, recreation, or lighting fireworks at exactly midnight to mark the turn of the year. However, in some countries there are unique ways to welcome the new year, including:
1. Eating 12 Plates in Estonia
Eat as much as you can if you are on vacation in Estonia, especially during the New Year celebrations. Because eating a lot here is not something to be ashamed of. If you can finish 12 plates of food, it is believed that your life will be much better, especially health problems. Eating 12 plates symbolizes the strength of 12 men.
2. Hit the Pot with the Sodet as Loudly as You Can
If you want to enjoy the turn of the new year 2018 without noise, never come to Australia, especially in rural areas. Because the indigenous people there will do a fairly strange tradition of hitting the pot as hard as possible. Of course this sound sounds very noisy. Moreover, those who do it are not just one or two people. But the number can reach millions of people. They will gather first before 12 pm arrives, then they will surround the village while banging the sodet (large spoon) on the pot they carry.
3. Must Wearing White in Brazil
Wearing bling-bling or brightly colored clothes during the New Year to make your appearance more fashionable, of course it is common for us to meet. But it's different in Brazil. The people will celebrate New Year's Eve by wearing clean new white clothes, from shirts, pants, to shoes. The meaning of the color white represents sacred energy. So wearing white clothes can eliminate the dark and dark past. Removing all the badness and bad luck in the year that has passed and bringing all the goodness and luck in the coming new year.
4. Welcoming the First Guest in Scotland
In Scotland, people call New Year's Eve the Night of The Candle. They welcome the new year by cleaning the house and preparing themselves in case guests come to the house. The myth is that the first guest to walk through the door and bring a gift to the host will determine the luck for the whole family.
5. Burning Straw Dolls in Colombia
In Colombia, the new year tradition is to burn a straw doll that looks like a scarecrow. They will write bad luck or mistakes that they want to get rid of on a piece of paper, then attach it to the doll. After that, they burn it at 12 pm as a symbol of goodbye to bad luck.
