January 1, the first day of the New Year, is welcomed differently in every corner of the world. The celebration of the New Year is the oldest of all holidays. With the coming of a new year, we wish each other good luck and we expect a new life. One of the commonest traditions is making the New Year’s Resolution that dates back to the Babylonians. The most popular resolution back them was to return farm equipment.
In whatever part of the world you may be, most of people feel the same sentiment. With a new year, we can expect a new life, new hope and a chance for a new beginning.
You probably feel unease in a new country, among people you don’t know, like many others do. But meeting people is far less difficult than it seems. Americans easily start a conversation with someone they just met.
