We're still on holiday!

You're back to school but we are right in the middle of our holidays.
The rainy season is not over yet. It rains pretty much these days.

For us it's All Saints' on Nov. 1st.

Did you celebrate something special during your holidays?

A young possum seen in my garden this morning.

  4. Possums are called 'MANICOUS' in Martinique. An interesting example on

  5. Possums are common here but they're endangered because of people who wants to eat them ! :'(

  6. There was no special reason for the October holiday, just halfway through a long term (August to December). The biggest festivals in Hong Kong are Chinese New Year (end of January or beginning of February), the Lantern Festival aka Mid-Autumn Festival aka Mooncake Festival in September and the Dragon Boat racing in June. We also get days off for the grave sweeping twice a year in the Spring and in the Autumn. In addition we get the holidays of Christmas and Easter, and we also celebrate the global New Year and have a holiday on 1st January. There's also Buddha's Birthday in April.
