Celebrating the 5th of November - Lifestyle Monday
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,
On Friday, we celebrated the 5th of November. It wasn't the 5th of November yet, but the primary school in my village likes to celebrate bonfire night with fireworks on a Friday so that families can stay late and watch them. It's a big celebration in my village. Due to the fact that we live so close to the school, we can actually see the fireworks quite clearly, from our garden. We're so close sometimes, that some debris falls from the sky and into our garden after the event. This time, instead of celebrating alone, we brought some friends over to join us. Some came late due to traffic but the fireworks display was amazing and the school really never fails at putting on a great show. It was a lot of fun and my old childminder came along with some students from abroad. One was from Seoul in South Korea and she was 22 years old, and the other was Arabian and she was 17 years old. Me and my sister got on well with them and we immediately started talking about how we celebrate Christmas here in the UK. We also talked about Christmas films we like to watch, like Elf and the Princess Switch. Surprisingly, the girl from Seoul, is attending sixth form here as the schooling system in comparison to here, is a bit different in Korea. I was also surprised to know that they celebrate Christmas like they do here, in South Korea as I know that in some Asian countries, they don't celebrate Christmas. In between chatting, we ate food that everyone brought over and we also had my mum's dessert which was apple tart and chocolate and salted caramel tart. It was all delicious and we had a lot of laughter on the way.
