Belgium Edition
World Street Corner Music Day leads today's complete edition for Belgium.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for songs heard from passing cars, markets, radios, festivals, windows, workplaces, and family gatherings.
A day to appreciate the monastic brewing tradition that makes Belgian beer unique in the world. Six Trappist abbeys in Belgium produce beer under the supervision of monks, and the Authentic Trappist Product logo guarantees it. Visit Westmalle for its Tripel, visit Chimay for its Grande Reserve, and visit Westvleteren for the beer you cannot buy anywhere else.
A day for the drawer that has three almost-right screws, old batteries, tape, string, and the answer to a small emergency.
A day for the person who listens to the problem, finds the part, and knows whether it can be saved.
You observe the giant panda in bamboo forests, the Yangtze finless porpoise in rivers, and the Chinese alligator in wetlands across this vast country. You notice that dogs and cats are increasingly popular as pets in urban areas, though many rural families keep chickens, pigs, and ducks. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
You enjoy Laško beer and Radenska mineral water, which are iconic Slovenian beverages found in homes and restaurants throughout the country. You understand that these brands represent Slovenia's tradition of quality production and its small nation's ability to create products that define everyday Slovenian life.
