It s normal to want to travel abroad during a festive season just to experience what it is like to celebrate in another country. For example, many people head to Europe during the year-end holidays to have a “cool Christmas”. If they’re lucky, there might even be snow.
During the Chinese New Year, some folks make a trip to Hong Kong or Taiwan, where the celebration is grand and festive. Of course, it’s usually grand in Malaysia too, but it’s always good to experience something new, right?
