For me it is just another day.

Also 11/11 is known to be the start of the carnival season in my beloved south. It is considered to be the day of the loony.

I've heard about a carnival in Belgium... I don't know if there are a lot of different kinds or if this is the same kind.


Well, they have the same roots but the various carnaval celebrations are different around the world. They usually involve a parade though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnival#Netherlands The dutch parades are known for mocking the local and national political situation. What I know of the ones in Belgium is that they sometimes are halfway Lent and in Netherlands it is always right before Lent.

On 11/11 there is just a ceremony and a party (like we need an excuse).

Yes. And our carnival is before that. But on 11/11 the 'season' of Carnival somehow starts. Frankly, it is just an excuse to dress up and party. It also coincides with the Sint Martin celebrations.

I was going to say something [AS A JOKE] about how I have very specific plans for that day, but can't tell you what they are :twisted: ...then I remembered a story I heard on This American Life on NPR, about a guy who posted some kind of angry but tongue-in-cheek rant on his Facebook page and got picked up by Homeland Security - it took months and several court appearances before he finally went before a judge and was cleared (but even then on condition that he stay out of trouble for 6 months) - and I thought better of it. :(

Note to any Homeland Security personnel who may be reading this: I have no particular plans for that day whatever. OK? I was just going to make a dubious joke and thought better of it.
