New Year’s Eve

New Year is an important holiday all over the world. Some people go to big parties and some people stay home. In Cuba, we clean the house to get rid of old things that we don’t need any more. We like to get rid of all that is negative so that the New Year brings positive things. We put on new clothes and we light candles and put them in the windows

On New Year’s Eve, we take a pieæ of paper and we write down our hopes and dreams — the things that are important to us and the things we want to happen in the New Year. On another piece of paper, we write down all the bad things from the old year

In the evening, we all go to my grandparents’ house. They live in Havana, the capital of Cuba. We have a special meal with all the family on New Year’s Eve. We have meat with salad, fried bananas and a special pudding with a sweet sauce

At midnight, we eat twelve grapes, one for each month. Sweet grapes mean the month will be good while sour grapes symbolise a bad month. We then take the paper where we’ve written our hopes and dreams and we read them. We also burn the paper where we’ve written all the bad things from the old year

After midnight, everybody throws a bucket of water out of their door or from their bamny. This symbolises throwing out the bad things from the old year

Pearl – Divinq

Pearling has been a traditional and major industry in the area of the Gulf since 2000 BCE. The season for diving for pearl oysters, the shellfish that contain pearls, in early June. A huge fleet of pearling boats departed together for the oyster bank, and retumed at the end of September. The oyster boats either stayed near one particular bank or moved around to different banks. There were about twenty members of the crew on board the tXat, one of whom led a rhythmic chant

Pearl- diving was a difficult and exhausting job, involving long hours of work from soon after sunrise to just before sunset. The diver dived down into the water with a stone attached to his fCXt, the oysters, then pulled on the rope as a signal for a crew member on board to bring him up to the surface. After a short rest, he went down again

The divers opened the oyster shells the following morning, with the captain on Rainwater was used to store the oysters in, since it removed the greenish colour that the oysters had. Then the oysters were wrapped in a piece of red cloth and were sorted according to size, weight and quality
