Each country has its own culture, language, way of living, typical foods, dance and music and way of celebrating the New Year’s Eve. Besides the huge differences between people, there are some things that connect millions and millions of people at the end of the year: The New Year’s superstitions.

During a talk with some friends we realize that many superstitions are common for a lot of countries:

–          If your wish is to travel, run around your house with an empty suitcase.

–          Put some raw lentils in your pocket to bring money for the incoming year.

–          If you are in the beach, jump three waves and make a wish.

–          Eat three grapes for good luck.

–          Use different colors of underwear to bring love (red), peace (white), money (yellow)…

–          Eating peas will bring luck for the incoming year. If you also have cabbage in your plate, you will have even more luck!

–          Change the bed sheet on the first day of the year so you can leave the problems and the bed things in the washing machine.

If your country has any different superstitions share with your colleges!
