Ewas late but still thought I would describe to you a very different time happy new year unzwar my slip here in Quito.
31.12.08: slept late, ate breakfast and showered and dressed in silence, schonmal a relaxed start.
with my two host sisters and my mother then we went to lunch after going on "San Golki" Where have my parents a Hosteria. My mother had to organize it for many, for the evening, guests should of course also there to celebrate.
with my sisters while we went to San Louise "a feeding center there to buy birthday presents for" Mama ", which was to have birthday on 01.01.09.
was the way to visit the cousin of my father. This works at NASA was a year for professional reasons Germany has got, and accordingly, talk, finally back to speak German.
With him, I was talking about the small and large differences between Ecuador and my country, and he told me how to celebrate New Year here, namely, with many different customs and traditions: first
First eunmal be on here every family puppets made of newspaper and old clothes getting creative.
This doll is to represent the old, in the past year. Moreover, it is also written a will, because at midnight, at the beginning of the new year, the doll is burned on the the new year ahead will be better and more successful.
To me it sounds a bit like the so Vudo ...
second Traditional had earlier made the women are pretty or dressed up, went to the streets and demanded money from the 31.12 drivers. The woman should in fact represent the widow of the man and the man, the past year.
As time has changed the tradition, so that now the men dress up as widows. That is, there is an impossible operation on the streets, for there be men with hairy legs and mini skirt, lipstick and wig, tight tops and high heels, the drivers tend not through until they make some money loose.
3.Um midnight to eat 12 grapes.
These 12 grape represent the following 12 months of the new year.
With every wine grape is the one, do you ask what to do for this month.
I was amazed at how quickly the others have devoured the grapes. I sat on the sofa and had me grapes for grape one wish considered.
course there is also a fireworks display and champagne will also be initiated. This was for me this time from that because I have unfortunately probably with a headache, cough, coryza (flu) and some fever celebrated the new year.
It was really bad, because of the delicious things I could eat and not much ...
Nevertheless it was very beautiful and interesting. We celebrated the way in Quito, in the house of an aunt and my mother was in her 50th Birthday was very happy about the gifts.
