Q: Happy Childrens day everyone
This is a Chinese only event, isn't it ? Or does other countries have it (not counting stuff like Halloween and Xmas..... why oh why is xmas so far away, Saxy Santa, where art thou)
If you are a child, then happy Childrens Day.
I never heard of it till yesterday.
" Lets take the wee one to the play park" I suggested.
" No way", the other half retorted. " Everyone is going there today".
I think there should be some new and different national days.
...... National go to the pub day.......
.......National buy detergent day.......
.......National fill potholes day.........
.......National speak quiet day.........
And how about:
.....National no chaos day.....
BHGAL:
National Sushi Day
National Western Food Day
National daughter is special Day
National My Family is the most important Day
National Nap time day/week/month
National Worry Free Day..
Never heard of this event here in the U.S. Either way, I also wish you a Happy Children's Day!
CCTV news last night ran a report on 'International Childrens' Day'. I skoffed and my wife asked why and I told her this is nothing more than a Chinese publicity stunt and she was initially surprised and then sighed in realisation of the truth.
What most kids did was attend their weekend extracurricular classes as per usual. I know mine did. And after they were done they returned home to continue their homework, until 1 or 2 in the morning, as per usual.
Woop de doo!
Scandinavian:
in many ways that is way better than going to some "fun brainwashing event", two or three years ago the schools here used Childrens day to show a movie, the title escapes me, that is utter crap and pure propaganda. This was for larger kids, e..g college students, who in the first place shouldn't be treated like kids anymore.
