A sign in a landmark Philadelphia restaurant asking customers to order in English is sparking controversy in the metropolis known as the “City of Brotherly Love”.According to the owner of Geno’s Steaks, Joey Vento,the sign “This is America — when ordering speak English” is intended to encourage immigrants to learn the language and assimilate into U.S. society, but one Latino activist said it’s racist. The controversy comes amid a national debate over immigration in the United States. The U.S. Senate passed an immigration bill this May that includes a provision which would make English the national language. The 66-year-old Joey Vento, whose grandparents moved to the United States from Italy, posted the sign about six months ago. He says that he is helping the immigrants speak English and he has no intention of removing, which has made some people angry. Roberto Santiago, executive director of Philadelphia’s Council of Spanish Speaking Organizations, said he was “appalled” by the policy. He thought what Vento had said indicated that he was racist. It seemed that Vento was saying that he didn’t like those brown faces in his community and he would do everything he could to get them out of there. Santiago said he has urged Latinos to boycott Geno’s Steaks, a fixture in South Philadelphia’s Little Italy neighborhood which has seen an influx of Hispanic immigrants in recent years.

The origins of Halloween go back to ancient Celtic traditions in Ireland. According to Celtic mythology, November 1 marked the end of summer, and it was then that the boundaries between the natural and the supernatural were believed to disappear, and spirits of the dead moved freely among the human world. It is interesting to see certain parallels with the Chinese Ghost Festival, also known as the Hungry Ghost Festival in southern China and Southeast Asia. It falls on July 15 of the lunar calendar, or mid-August of the Gregorian calendar. On that day, Chinese legend says, the gate to hell is opened at midnight, and ghosts swarm into the world of human beings in search of food and money. These ghosts, who have been starving for a whole year, will enter households if they cannot find enough delicacies in the street. Therefore, people in southern China traditionally put chicken, meat, vegetables, rice, tea and fruit on their doorsteps that day. In Chongqing, the streets that night are empty, as few dare to leave their house. The legend says that if a ghost finds you in the street and follows you back home, your family will have bad luck all year. All in all, people should be very careful during the Chinese ghost festival; they have to keep away from ghosts and not offend them. It’s really not as much fun as Halloween.

Christmas customs are different in the world. Christmas Eve in some parts of the world may find parents battling crowds of other last-minute shoppers or struggling to assemble toys as their children sleep, but in Japan the holiday is as much for couples as for kids. Magazines aimed at the young in love are filled with advice on the best places to stroll down streets illuminated with stunning displays of Christmas lights, the best restaurants for a cozy dinner for two — and the best hotels for a romantic night. Tokyo Tower, a popular dating spot, is lighting up a heart-shaped illumination on its observation deck every night until Christmas. Some believe that couples who stand under the tower when the lights go on must vow eternal love. Lovers can also tie a ribbon to a special Christmas “love tree” on the tower’s observation deck. Nearby, the new Tokyo Prince Hotel Park Tower has two specially decorated Christmas suites on offer for $16,660 a night, fancy dinner included. Only about 1 percent of Japan’s population is Christian, and December 25 is a working day for most people, but practices such as decorating shopping streets and exchanging gifts became common in the robust consumer economy that emerged after World War Two. Modern “traditions” include Christmas Cake — a sponge cake with strawberries and whipped cream eaten on Christmas Eve — and, for some families, a take-out bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken.
