Or something like that :)
Today is 6 of December and in Slovakia (my home country) is St.Mikulaš day :)
Day Svätého Mikuláša is very popular with kids in Slovakia. No wonder, they get presents on this day (but only if the behaved nicely)! On the eve of St. Nicholas day, Dec. 5th, kids leave out their shoes or boots on their windowsills. Then the next morning they find the shoes filled with little presents. When I was growing up, the presents were pieces of fruit: apples, nuts, pears. Those who behaved badly would find a piece of coal.:) But we are all good :)
Then the next day, in the evening, the older boys of the village would dress up as Sv. Mikuláš and his entourage: an angel (anjel) and a devil (čert). The boys dressed as angels would wear long white shirts, while the devils wore a long black coat, painted their faces black, and tied chains and bells around their waist. They would then visit families having little kids. The little ones first had to say a prayer or sing (something funny and improvised) and then would receive more presents: dried fruit, candies, nuts and so on. And of course, those who misbehaved got their coal. The devil supposedly gave out potatoes.
Cute tradition right? Nomatter how old you are ,your shoes have to be shiny and wait for something nice :)
So happy St.Mikulaš day with so much love from me :)
SOOOOO many things happended since then:)
I went to China for one Month - again YES ONE MONTH !!!! China is just not what i thought it is.Lesson ? To not to have an expectation- NEVER. I can't say is bad or good , is just VERY defferent . Specialy people ! China is very very political country and it reflects on the nation. To be more accurate ... People are not friendly, they are not polite to each other and the basic respect is just not there...
In the end of the day what makes your country nice ? i would say people...
But is time to say something nice :) Shanghai was beautiful and ofcourse traditional chinese couture is magical :)
I visited Bejing , Shanghai, Zhuzhou and province Hunan :) The best city as i mentioned was Shanghai... Beijing not at all is just too much pollution ...
I can talk about China for hours but is better to go and make your own opinion :)
Little sugestions before you go:) take looots of empty bags with fresh air from here :) JUST KIDDING ...maybe not haha.
