A day for baskets, backpacks, totes, sacks, satchels, lunch bags, and everything people carry through the work of a day.
Mussels season opens and every cafe in Belgium puts mosselen met friet on the chalkboard. Steamed in white wine with celery and leeks, served in a pot the size of your head, with a bowl for shells and a mountain of frites beside it. Belgians eat mussels from late summer through November and never outside those months, because mussels outside season is practically a crime.
You observe Philippine eagles, Philippine water buffalo, and Philippine flying lemurs as the most iconic animals native to the Philippines. You see that Filipinos most commonly keep dogs, cats, and chickens as their household pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
