・　I understood about 15% of Gaki no Tsukai. Last year I only
　　understood about 10%.
・　なぜ日本人が年末年始の音楽番組にそんなにハマっている
・　There was no countdown clock on television, so I nearly missed
　　the new year.

・　初詣ってそんな大人数で驚きました
・　I was surprised how many people were in temples, that they were
　　even lined in queues to enter some temples. Also although I visited
　　temple (accidentally, actually), I didn't know for sure what am I
　　supposed to do, so was just watching.

・　Suuuper quiet.
・　I discovered that I can see Mt. Fuji from my balcony when the
　　weather is clear! Now, I always check. ^^

・　親戚が集まる、豪華な食事する、一晩中寝ない（話したり、ゲームした
　　り）、キリスト教なら真夜中ごろにみんなでお祈りする
・　We cook , eat and spend time with family.
・　Have a nice meal and drinks with friends or family.
・　韓国は旧正月で、1月末～2月ごろに旧正月を祝います！
　　親族がみんなそろって、トックッという韓国風お雑煮を食べます💛

・　Drink until you cannot remember what you did on New Year's.
・　Celebrating on 31st, being hangover on 1st ^^
・　爆竹を鳴らす
・　Based on Brazilian culture, white clothes means = peace and
　　harmony,
　　- Watching traditional New Year's fireworks,
　　- Jump through seven waves when the clock stricks 00:00.

・　In my whole life, I spent my Christmas and New Year's holiday in a
　　beach house next to my city. Most of the people who live in São
　　Paulo (my city) goes to coast cities 2h driving.
・　People usually just have fun by having a party with friends and
　　family, or use the holiday to travel.
