International Men's Day


International Men’s Day was founded in 1999, in Trinidad and Tobago. It continues to be observed there, on
November 19th each year. International Men's Day is an international holiday and it was suggested by Michail Gorbachev and was supported by the United Nation in Vienna, and other organisation like Russia celebrate Defender Of Fatherland Day on February 23, which in recent times has essentially become these countries' version of International Men's Day. International Men’s Day does not have any kind of significant international presence. A Google search for this event finds very few examples of any other countries or organisations acknowledging this day. Instead, its internet presence is primarily in commentators stating, in response to International Women’s Day, “Why isn’t there an International Men’s Day?”

It is always not easy to get one day off during school day, and fortunately during this IMD, we are having holidays from Saturday to Monday. Thus,we held some food party, outing : this time is Ice Skating and also staying home resting =)
First time outdoor skating, at Gorki Park, though the ice melting due to the increasing of temperature these few days. The ice is not even for a good, smooth skating, and we have to be super aware towards the difference of skating-ice with the ice-water in order not to fall down into the melted ice( a lake?) Hehe. But overall, I had a wonderful day-out~!
End of the tiring day, whats better than a simple, fast, nice, hot dish for dinner? Chinese Dumpling =)
And the 3rd happy thing of the day, I've spoke to this Lady Diana on the phone for an hour, after such a long long time. And in return of so many happy things in a day,now I have to start working hard on my schedule =)
*But seriously, I would love to have more and more holiday~!* Keke
