THE GRAPE EATING COMPETITION IN MADRID

 
Many people make vows at New Year’s Eve to lose weight, to read more, to spend less money to unnecessarily things, but we all know that it takes up to just a month. Spanish people are different in this too, they are holding a grape eating competition. Well, maybe not a race, but according to tradition, at midnight, when the clock hits 12, we have to eat 1 eye of grapes every hit to have good luck next year. In Hungary for us, this has been cleverly solved, because the lentils  bring good luck, but we don’t have to eat it in 12 seconds. In the other hand, if eating 12 grains of grapes quickly wouldn’t be enough, young people can’t just go to the party on New Year’s Eve. It is a  tradition to have a family dinner until midnight that everyone is required to attend, even if they are adult, and only after that can the ferocious fun begin. But who can dance with a full belly? And if that still wasn’t enough, the next day, at noon on the first day of January, is also mandatory to take part on a family lunch, where should not be arrive if you are still hangover. It’s not enough to start the party late with a full belly, even the next day have to eat again with a family. Incredible…

However, we after eating the grapes at midnight, we continued a party with a nice company until 6 in the morning.
