When homesickness hit Lukas during China's festive season, he turned a quiet evening into a 🌟 global celebration with housemates from Mexico, Nigeria, and beyond! Their apartment became a cultural mashup: midnight grapes (Mexico’s 12-luck tradition) met red envelopes (China’s hóngbāo), while Nigerian jollof rice shared table space with Korean tteokguk.
🎤 'It’s like the U.N. of parties!' laughed Lukas, who danced to K-pop and Latin beats between bites of dumplings. Friends video-called families abroad, projecting midnight countdowns from Rio to Berlin onto their walls.
💬 'New Year’s isn’t about where you are,' said Mexican roommate Sofia, 'but who you’re learning from.' The night ended with handwritten wishes hung on a 'global hope tree'—proof that friendship bridges borders.
