Last year，I went to an international school in Russia.My1 friend，Andrey，invited me to celebrate New Year in his home.His village was in the 2 part of Russia.After lunch we headed west by plane.On the way，I asked 3 they had different table manners in their area.He smiled and told me not to worry.When we came in the house，all the family 4 stood up to welcome us.It was a house made of wood，clean and warm.A tall New Year tree with lights，stars and colorful balls was standing near the fireplace.All the families were in 5 Russian costumes.New Year dinner was ready.6 and knives were already placed on the table.They even prepared a pair of chopsticks for me.At the table，everyone raised their glasses and drank7 our health and friendship.We enjoyed delicious 8 ，bread，fish and chicken.There was so much food on the plate that I couldn't 9 all of them.But it was polite.Then we sang and danced 10 late night.It was really a wonderful celebration.I experienced a different culture during the New Year holiday.
