Festival..Festival!!!

Today is Kids Holiday in Turkey. April 23 International Children's Day. It's one of my favorite Turkish Holidays. From all over the world kids go to Turkey, stay with Turkish families, have friends from every nations and show their national dances on TV. On this day, the children also replace the parliamentarians in the Grand National Assembly and hold a special session to discuss matters concerning children’s issues.
When I told my son about this, he said; Wow, it's cool!!!




And next video is so cute, hope you like it!

    Your son is right--Wow, it's cool!!
    I love places/people who treat children with respect and actually listen to the children. We love to learn about different nationalities and traditions. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend.

  12. That is so cute. When I was growing up in Slovakia we had an International Children Day as well and it was June 1 (the day before my birthday). I remember teachers giving us candy and doing fun activities at school.
