Regional/Cultural Day

Jaigaon Shopping Day

The unofficial day every Bhutanese family in Phuentsholing crosses the gate into Jaigaon, India, for goods that are cheaper or unavailable at home. Electronics, fabric, firecrackers, and Indian whisky flow across that border in quantities that customs officials politely pretend not to notice. Every Bhutanese knows the Jaigaon market by heart and has a favorite shop that nobody else knows about.

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.
