여러분 집들이 해본 경험 있으신가요?
어떤 선물을 받을 때 가장 기분이 좋으셨나요?
오늘은 싱가포르에서 집에 초대받았을 때 하면 좋을 선물에 대해 이야기해보려고 합니다.
싱가포르는 한국과 달리 단일 민족 국가가 아니라 다민족 국가입니다.
대표적인 민족은 중국계, 말레이계, 인도계, 유라시아계입니다.
그 중에서도 중국계, 말레이계, 인도계 싱가포르 사람은 인구의 98% 이상을 차지합니다.
만약 각 민족의 명절에 초대를 받았을 때, 무엇을 준비하면 좋을까요?
중국계 싱가포르 사람이 보내는 명절은 중국 설날 (Chinese New Year)입니다.
명절 날짜는 한국의 설날과 같습니다.
이 기간은 싱가포르에서 제일 긴 공휴일입니다.
이 때, 중국계 싱가포르 사람은 보통 밝고 화려한 옷을 입고 친척 집에서 모입니다.
초대를 받았으면 밝은 옷을 입고 방문해야하며, 선물로는 귤(밀감)이 좋습니다.
중국 사람들에게 밀감은 풍요와 행운의 전통적인 상징이며 설날에 중국계 싱가포르 사람의 집을 방문할 때는 보통 밀감을 가져가야 합니다.
집주인은 집 앞에서 손님을 맞이할 때, 두 손으로 공손히 밀감을 선물합니다.
더 좋은 인상을 주려면 밀감을 넘겨주면서 중국어로 신년인사를 말하세요.
밀감은 밀감용 빨간 봉투에 담는 것이 좋으며, 그 외 일반 봉투에 담으면 좋지 않은 인상을 줄 수도 있습니다.
또한 중국 사람에게 풍요를 상징하는 빨간색 옷을 입지 못하더라도 검은색이나 네이비 색 옷은 피하는 것이 좋습니다.
설날이 아닌 날에 중국계 싱가포르 사람의 집을 방문하게 된다면 제일 보편적인 선물은 사과나 오렌지와 같은 과일입니다.
식사 초대인 경우. 식사와 어울리는 음식이나 후식을 가져 가는 것도 좋습니다.
1. 밀감을 들고 있는 중국계 싱가포르인
2. 밀감
말레이계 싱가포르 사람은 주로 이슬람교이고
그들은 보내는 명절은 하리 라야 푸아사(Hari Raya Puasa)와 하리 라야 하지(Hari Raya Haji)입니다.
하리 라야 푸아사는 라마단(Ramadan)이 끝나고 다음 날에 진행하는 축제이며 라마단 기간 동안 단식하는 이슬람교 사람들에게 큰 축제입니다.
그 날 이슬람교 사람들은 새 옷을 입고 친족 집에서 모입니다.
라마단 기간에 말레이계 사람의 집에 초대를 받는다면 대추를 선물로 주는 것이 가장 좋습니다.
왜냐하면 대추는 영양적인 가치로 봤을 때 에너지를 즉시 보충하고 신체에 활력을 불어넣어 금식 이후에 먹기 아주 적절한 음식이기 때문입니다.
라마단 기간에 꼭 먹어야 하는 음식이니만큼 소중한 선물로 여겨집니다.
라마단 기간에는 시장에서 다양한 대추를 팔기도 하니 그 때 시장을 방문하시면 좋은 대추를 고를 수 있습니다.
라마단 기간이 아닐 때 말례이계 싱가포르 사람의 집으로 초대를 받는다면 음식이나 간식을 사 가면 좋습니다.
다만 할랄 (halal)인증을 받은 음식만 선물로 하세요.
그리고 이슬람교는 술과 돼지 고기를 삼가하므로 술과 돼지 고기를 가져가면 실례입니다.
3. 말레이계 싱가포르인
4. 라마단 기간이 끝난 후 영양보충을 위해 주로 먹는 말린 대추
인도계 싱가포르 사람의 명절은 디파발리(Deepavali)입니다.
이 날은 ‘빛의 날’이라고도 불리는데, 어둠에 대한 빛과, 악에 대한 선의 승리를 상징하는 날입니다.
빛을 상징하는 명절인 만큼 화려한 옷을 입고 초대된 집을 방문해야 합니다.
그리고 디파발리는 행복과 행운의 상징이며 그 날에 인도 사람은 단 것을 친척들과 교환하는 풍습이 있습니다.
인도의 전통 과자를 선물하는 것이 상대의 호감을 살 수 있습니다.
전통 과자는 인도 식당에서 쉽게 구입할 수 있습니다.
인도계 싱가포르 사람 중에는 힌두교가 많습니다.
소는 힌두교에게 성스러운 존재이기 때문에 소고기 선물은 주의해야 합니다.
또한 인도계 싱가포르 사람 중에 이슬람교도 있으니 인도계 이슬람교의 집에 방문할 때 술과 돼지고기 선물은 피하는 것이 좋습니다.
초콜릿이나 아이스크림같이 달달한 선물은 항상 인기가 있으며, 특히 아이가 있는 가족에게는 더 좋은 선물이 될 것입니다.
5. 해피 디파발리
6. 인도계 싱가포르인
7. 인도의 전통 과자
그 이외에 본인 나라를 상징하거나 유명한 제품을 선물로 주는 것도 좋습니다.
그 나라 문화를 소개할 기회가 될 뿐만 아니라 좋은 이야기 거리가 될 수도 있기 때문입니다.
싱가포르 사람들은 일반적으로 김을 좋아합니다.
또한 한국 화장품도 싱가포르에서 유명합니다.
상대방이 한국 화장품을 쓴다면 화장품을 선물로 하는 것도 좋은 생각입니다.
싱가포르 친구의 집에 초대받게 된다면 어떤 선물을 하면 좋을지 이제 조금 감을 잡은 것 같아요!
물론 상대방의 개인적인 취향을 알고 있다면 그런 선물이 더 좋긴 하겠죠?
그런 취향을 아직 파악하지 못한 경우, 일반적으로 인기있는 선물을 하는 것도 현명한 방법인 것 같습니다 : )
그럼 오늘은 여기까지!
다음에 또 만나요!
안녕 : )
