No smoking!

There is a contest in Latvia for 7th and 8th grade students - "Non smoking class".
Idea is following, if the class takes part in this contest, no one is allowed to smoke for 6 months, if someone do smoke during this period, class is disqualified.

So I can not not decide, is this good, because someone are thinking new ways how to deal with smoking at early age, or it is sad that there is such a need to make these contests.

Anyway! - Do not smoke kids!!! (or anybody else)

Dessert - Cherry Champagne.

Yeah I know I have been lazy last couple of weeks, but here it is!
This week's topic is Dessert.

Cheers!

Flip Flop Friday

Flip Flop Friday is the day that you wear your flip-flops. Flip Flop Friday is an unofficial celebratory day for the Flip Flop and the attire that goes with it.

Flip Flop Friday’s usually begin in the Spring and end sometime in Autumn when the weather becomes too cold to wear flip-flops. Depending on your location, you may get to have Flip Flop Friday’s all year long.

Generally, those who wish to participate will wear their favorite pair of flip-flops all day on Friday, for as many Friday’s as you can muster. Wear them to work, wear them to the store, wear them to your favorite place of worship, but most importantly, wear your flip-flops.

Midsummer fest in Latvia.

Hey everyone,
do you know what Midsummer festival is and what Latvians do on this special night?

The most important holiday for every Latvian is the Summer Solstice festival, or Jāņi, which is celebrated on the night of June 23. Nearly everyone leaves the city for the open air. Traditional caraway seed cheese and lots of beer are on the menu.

Latvia's Midsummer night celebration is called Jāņi in Latvian, and it is the one night of the year that you must never sleep. Most activities are outside and center around a huge bonfire. Girls pick meadow flowers to make wreaths for their hair, while men named Jānis get a bushy crown of oak leaves around their heads. Janis is the most popular male name in Latvia and comparable to 'John'. Traditionally, people in the countryside made their own special cheese and beer for the festivities and went from home to home, sharing their goodies and singing traditional songs. They'd gather around the bonfire to sing special 'Līgo' songs that can only be sung on this night. And they dance the whole night long. Although the sun sets briefly, it doesn't get dark and everyone must be awake to greet the rising sun in the morning. A naked romp into the nearest lake or river is a must for men - and the women who cheer them on. Young couples Like to go into the forest and search for the Legendary fern blossom. Or so they say. And when you greet the morning sun, you have to wash your face in the grass's morning dew, which on Jāņi morning is said to have particularly beneficial properties.
