Asian people like to enjoy their festivals. Like new year, 1st day of spring, etc. They just don't enjoy, the way they enjoy that everybody can see, hear the bit of music.
Canadian culture is a little different. They like to enjoy their festivals too. But they never make other people see or hear, who doesn't want to.
When I first came to Canada, I was surprised to see that they were having a big election but I couldn't feel it. No big banners, no car rally, no frequently knocking on doors on elections. They knew where to go to vote, they went and got the result. I got to know about it from the news that all of a sudden we have got a new prime minister.
A few days ago a Persian family was celebrating their new year with their friends and families. Their culture is to play very loud music and dance and sing. The security tried to make them understand their neighbour can't sleep in this situation. They couldn't understand. They keep saying, try to understand, it's our new year.
But we should know, we all respect each other's culture, and we can enjoy ourselves as much as we want, but we can't disturb our neighbour. You never know who is facing which situation in life, some may take drugs to sleep, some may have very early flights to catch, some may not like your music, etc.
Don't torture others with your festival or occasions. Let's make a better environment where everyone can live the way they want to.
