VIỆT NAM

 The house-warming ritual is very important to the Vietnamese. According to tradition, the homeowner invites people to celebrate a new house. Traditionally, the Vietnamese believe new houses are cold and need to be warmed up with occupants. The purpose of the ritual is to bring warmth and good luck. Guests generally bring useful gifts and offer good wishes. The host introduces the guests to the rooms, functions of each room, materials, and the design of the new house. After that, they enjoy a feast together.

THE US

In the US, new homeowners often throw a house-warming party. They invite family, friends, and new neighbours to come. The parties are held 2-3 weeks after the new owner moves in. The house should be ready and look like a nice place to live. Generally, the homeowners send out invitations which should include the date and time of the event.

They eat a well-balanced diet of fish, vegetables, fruit, soy, and rice. They do not like packaged and canned food as well as processed food and instant food as they are not good for their health. Besides eating fresh food, they also do not use much oil in their cooking. They often stew, steam, and grill their food rather than to deep-fry it. Vegetable broth is known as the base of many dishes. Japanese people rarely eat desserts. If they do, they like to have healthy ingredients like red beans. Finally, they do not overeat.
