on new year's day there was more food! although it was the biggest meal l'd ever seen, we didn't eat any meat that day. i ate the most unusual foods l've ever eaten-things like lotus seed and black seaweed! all the foods are said to bring good luck. then we went out and stopped by lots of other houses to wish everyone a happy new year. all the houses look more beautiful at this time of year. lots of people decorate their rooms for new year,usually with red paint or wallpaper, and they put happy wishes written on pieces of red paper on walls and doors. the living rooms are full of vases of flowers,plates of oranges, and lost of candles.
