you will be strictly confined to your hotel from midnight 6th to about 6am 8th. There will be minimal hotel service and you will be expected to be quiet and restrained in activiy all day. The hotels run that day with minimal staff and cooking is also not done that day although hotels may bend that rule a little.
The night before is fun and you will be able to see a procession of huge papiermache monsters called ogeh ogeh which will be paraded and then burnt to destroy bad spirits.
The day after is a day when people visit their friend and relatives to wish Happy New Year.
The day is a great way to simply relax and contemplate navel if nothing better to think about.
