Both Singapore and Indonesia celebrates Independence Day in August.
It was a little different celebrating Singapore's National Day away from home, albeit not that far away. To share the joy with my colleagues, I looked for snacks that are uniquely Singapore while back on holiday. Sadly, most of our snacks are imported. Ended up with Meiji's Hello Panda cookies which are products of Singapore.
The math and science day called Eureka Fest took on an Indonesian flavor as it was held just before the Indonesian Independence Day weekend. The kids played traditional games and looked at some related math questions, used angklungs to tune glass bottles, identified local plants and created their own wayang kulit-inspired shadow plays. A delightful morning.
