Everyone loves a birthday — but not everyone celebrates the same way. Here are a few traditions worth borrowing.
Around the globe
- China: Long noodles symbolise a long life — the longer the noodle, the better.
- Mexico: The piñata, filled with sweets, is a party classic.
- Netherlands: "Crown years" (like turning 5, 10 or 21) get extra-special treatment.
- India: Many mark birthdays with new clothes, sweets and blessings from elders.
- Brazil: The first slice of cake traditionally goes to the most important person in the celebrant's life.
