Almost every major city in Taiwan had a New Year's eve celebration last night, including Taipei, Kaohsiung, Tainan, Taichung, Chiayi, and Taoyuan. Each celebration involved a list of celebrities performing songs and/or dances on stage.
While this is not as widespread as it might be, some Taiwanese people have the "tradition" of having KFC chicken on New Year's Eve. The lines at the KFC we went to were long, and many people got buckets of chicken to go. I was told that Taiwanese people like eating chicken. Since KFC chicken taste good, and some Taiwanese people feel like having chicken on New Year's Eve, KFC becomes their top choice.
This taste for KFC reminds me of KFC for Christmas in Japan. As a widespread cultural practice, Japanese people love having KFC for Christmas. Starting one month before Christmas, KFC begins take orders for Christmas. I heard that late orders will result in no KFC chicken on Christmas eve/day. Was this the result of KFC marketing, or something that started from the Japanese people themselves?
