Today is a holiday in Japan!

Today is holiday which is called "Shouwa-nohi", it comes from name of an era. Actually, I was born in "Heisei", which is the era following "Shouwa". I really don't know about "Shouwa", but it sounds very good to me because it reminds me of tradition and some legends.

What is your favorite holiday?

In Malaysia and Singapore, there are three major ethnicities: Malay, Chinese and Indian, each of them has their own festivals throughout a year. Even though we are of different backgroud, we would come out and celebrate together as one. And yes, we have maaaaaany holidays.
