Regional/Cultural Day
Gobi Wind Sweep Day
The wind in Ulan Bator has covered your front steps with a fine layer of dust from the steppe, and you can see the paw prints of a neighbor's dog. You take the broom and sweep until the concrete is clean, then you splash water to keep it down. A swept step is a quiet way to say welcome to anyone who visits.
Regional/Cultural Day
Market List Day
You write your errand list on a scrap of paper while you still have tea in your hand, and you fold it into your pocket. At the market, you buy flour, salt, and a bag of dried curds, but you forget the thread for your deel. You'll come back tomorrow with a better list, but you'll still forget something.
Regional/Cultural Day
Animals of Chad Day
You witness herds of camels, desert antelopes like addax and dama gazelles, and various species of wild cats across Chad's vast Saharan and Sahel landscapes. You find that camels, goats, and sheep are the predominant domestic animals kept by residents for transportation and sustenance.
