I used to have a friend whom lived in Toxteth (the 'rough' area of Liverpool) and at this time of year she had to nail her letterbox closed.

in Hungary, noone has that one of those letterboxes, anywhere, for about 20 or 30 years

there was too much crap being thrown in .

don't tell me about keeping events on their proper day

loy krathong is starting tomorrow but the firecrackers have been going on and on for more than a week, sometimes until midnight. it is ok for three days a year, but it is so scary when someone hurls one into my back yard (all concrete) (no malice intended I think, at least).

and then of course, Christmas - back home they tend to start right after the day of the dead. they did start before but there was such a huge public outcry about the Christmas tree in front of IKEA on October 28th or something like that that I think they have eventually stopped. not sure though.
