kindertag

today is "kindertag" meaning "children's day". and as somehow everyone is a child, all of us can celebrate it.
so happy children's day to all of you!

did you know that turkey was the first country to introduce such a day in 1920 (under the rule of atatürk)?

well, anyhow there should be a children's day in every country:

- in china + the usa it's also the 1st june
- in brasil: 12th october
- in india: 14th november
- in south korea and japan: 5th may
- in turkey: 23rd april
and the other countries? let me know if you have additional information, i would be interested in that.
and children (independent of age) - don't forget to eat lots of chocolate (e.g. the german kinder chocolate which i think is available all over the world).

or rather don't buy chocolate and instead donate the money to suffering children in poor countries!



alles gute zum heutigen kindertag allen kleinen und großen kindern!

Happy Children's Day... In India, it is Nehru's birthday which is celebrated as children's day. Supposedly, he was very fond of children and was known as uncle Nehru by everybody... or something like that...

I didn't know it was Children's Day. Thanks for that! Yumm... chocolate. :) I will do both: eat chocolate and donate.
