The assignment was to find a big cultural event in Japan and compare it to the American counterpart and I choose New years.
While both America and Japan are common in their way of the young people getting together for parties, when you see the specific foods that say bring luck, and even going to a temple to pray to the gods may seem a little exotic to some people. I found an interesting site that talked about the specific food they eat and specific traditions!
The sight is Japan-guide.com. It tells not only about the traditions on the day after but also what they usually do the next day also. Most Americans are just nursing hang overs, haha.
