Happy Women's Day!

International Women's Day is celebrated differently here than in Canada. First off, it's a full national holiday with schools and businesses closing for the day. Secondly, the day is more of an appreciation day. People celebrate the women in their lives. Husbands and sons cook dinner and give gifts to their wives and mothers. Grandchildren visit their grandmothers. It's almost like having Valentine's Day and Mother's Day on the same day. Yesterday, in one of my classes, the male students brought chocolate to give to the female students and well, me.
