Festivals, Celebrations and Holidays  

Asian countries celebrate a number of different and colourful celebrations that are not regularly seen in Western countries. For example, China has unique celebrations including the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Moon Festival and National Day. As we move further west, countries like India celebrate things like Diwali and Holi, as well as some Islamic celebrations such as Eid-ul Fitr. Although Western countries like the US, Australia and countries in Europe have their own holidays many people in these countries celebrate festivals from Asian culture and vice versa. Personally I love that we can embrace and enjoy all these different celebrations from cultures all around the globe. I believe that learning and respecting cultural differences allow us too come together as a human race.
