Describe a unique festival/holiday/celebration/custom you have experienced or heard of.

Jenny- On new year’s day, Korean families get together and have a celebration. Women make food, like the pictures below, and put them on a table. Fish, fruit, tofu, rice cake are some main foods that we put. It’s a way to respect our ancestors. We bow to our ancestors, and after that, we bow to each other. This is called se-bae. Usually, the younger people bow to the elders and say some wishing remarks. After that, elders would say wishing remarks back to the younger people. On new year’s day, we also eat dduk-guk: rice cake soup. This custom on new year’s day goes on every year. 

** Ivrea, Italy : The Battle of Oranges **

** Daniel- This is the largest food fight in Italy and organized groups attack another. Sadly, nobody really knows the where the idea of this festival came from. This festival has nine groups that attack each other. The traditional lasts for three days, a Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday in February. **

=Andrew Park- Spain's La Tomatina Festival is a is a festival that is held in the Valencian town of Buñol. This festival starts with a pole climbing. And not just any pole, but a greased pole with a ham on top.This is called the palo jabón. The Spanish bring a truckload of tomatoes and have a fight with them. The tomatoes come from Extremadura, where they are less expensive and are grown specifically for the holidays, being of inferior taste.= = A picture of tomato thrown out from a truck(left), and preparing the palo jabón(right).=
