Regional/Cultural Day

Palmi Gbe

Fresh palm wine, tapped that morning from a palm tree and served in a calabash before noon. The sweetness fades by afternoon, so you drink it early or you miss it. In villages across southern Benin, the palm wine tapper climbs his tree before dawn and by mid-morning, every compound has a full gourd ready for guests.

Regional/Cultural Day

Animals of Kazakhstan Day

You observe the vast herds of Mongolian wild horses, Saiga antelopes, and snow leopards inhabiting Kazakhstan's steppes and mountains. You see that Kazakhs commonly keep horses, sheep, dogs, and cats as their primary domestic animals. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
