Exploring Anniversaries Around the World

Exploring Anniversaries Around the World

We've all heard of weddings, births, and deaths, but there are other occasions that don't get as much attention. Here are some unique celebrations that deserve to be on your radar.

China

In China, anniversaries are celebrated differently in different parts of the country. Some couples celebrate their anniversaries by going on a trip together, while others celebrate by eating at their favorite restaurant.

In Shanghai, many people celebrate their wedding anniversary with friends or family members over dinner or lunch at a restaurant that they have frequented in the past years. Some popular choices include Cafe de la Paix (French), Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant (Peking Duck), Din Tai Fung Dumpling House (dumplings), Huifeng Beef Noodle Soup Restaurant(Beef Noodles), and Shanghainese Cuisine Restaurant(Shanghai Cuisine).

Germany

In Germany, couples celebrate their anniversaries with a romantic candlelight dinner. The husband usually gives the wife a gift of jewelry and vice versa. Chocolates are also popular gifts for anniversaries in Germany; it's believed that they symbolize sweetness and love between two people.

Mexico

The Day of the Dead is a holiday in which people remember the dead. It is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd, as well as during All Saints' Day (November 1st) and All Souls' Day (November 2nd).

The celebration begins with parades, fireworks, and parties that last until midnight on November 2nd. People wear masks representing their ancestors or other loved ones who have died; these masks are meant to help bring peace between those still alive and those who have passed away.

Japan

In Japan, it is customary to celebrate anniversaries with a card. The card is given by the couple and contains a poem written by the couple themselves. This custom dates back hundreds of years when people would write poems on paper money that was used as currency at that time. Today, these cards are called "hanko" (which means "signature").

Brazil

Brazilians celebrate their anniversaries in a big way. If you're planning to spend an anniversary with the love of your life, it's important to know what kind of celebration they like.

Some Brazilians prefer a lavish dinner or party, while others want to give each other gifts of jewelry (such as rings). Still, others will take a trip to commemorate the occasion--and this could be anywhere from Rio de Janeiro all the way up north near Sao Paulo!
