Are you planning a Birthday Party for your son or daughter and can't decide what to do? People in different countries celebrate (庆祝) their birthday in different ways.
Philip Evans, from Paris, smiles to us, "I'm going to be thirty years old next week, so I'm going to invite three very good friends out for dinners. In France, when you have a birthday, you often invite people out. In some countries, I know it's the opposite-the people take you out."
Mr and Mrs Sato are from Tokyo. Mr Sato is going to be sixty tomorrow. "In Japan, the sixtieth birthday is called KanreKi-the beginning of a new life. The red color is for a new life, so we always give something red for a sixtieth birthday. Mrs Sato says, "What am I going to give my husband? I can't say. It's a secret!"
Li Xiaomei from Beijing feels very excited and tells us, "Tomorrow is sixteenth my birthday. It's a special birthday, so we're going to have a family party. I'm probably going to get some money in lucky envelopes from my relatives (亲戚). My mother is going to cook noodles. Noodles are for a long life. "
