Q21. Chinese typically only celebrate certain birthdays: the first, 10th, 60th, 70th
and 80th. The 60th birthday is important to the Chinese because it is seen as
completing a full zodiac. Birthdays are typically family affairs. Food includes a
bowl of long life noodles - long noodles that the person slurps into their mouth. A
long slurp equals a long life.
Q22. A very important tradition in Mexican culture is the
Quinceanera
, which is
traditionally celebrated on a young woman's fifteenth birthday. The celebration is
meant to mark the young girl's movement into womanhood and is complete with a
formal gown and dancing.
