🕰️🌞 What happened today? 🤷♀️🤓 Всякая всячина
Now it is 8 October and in 1871 on this day started the Great Chicago Fire!! 🔥🔥 It started in a barn it says on internet. I think that is a farm? And it lasted for two days and killed about 300 people. 😧
Did you know about the fire? I only found out just now on the internet. And did anybody visit Chicago? If so what is it like? 🙄🙄
October 8th also means that Chinese students are returning to school from their holidays.
Thank you for sharing this fact! 🙂 It is nice to read things about 8 October in the past, but also in the now! 😊😊

It is now 9 October and I found the following things that happened in the past on this day:
1️⃣ On 9 October 2004 it happened for the first time that there were elections in Afghanistan and they have chosen Hamid Karzai as president.
2️⃣ On 9 October 2012 somebody shot Malala Yousafzai in Pakistan. But she was very brave and she survived!! And she got the Nobel Peace Price. 🏆🥇
Oh and I forgot: today is Nationale Krokettendag in The Netherlands! Kroketten are a Dutch meat snack. You can read more about it in the Dutch forum: https://penpal-gate.net/forum/12-everyday-life-and-customs/9772-the-dutch-forum/3#new_post
Today is 10 October. I looked up what happened today in the past and i wanted to mention two things:
1️⃣ In 1911 on this day there was an uprising in Wuchang in China. And some people believe that this was the start of the Chinese Revolution where the Qing dynasty ended and the people from the uprising created a republic. I dont know much about it because in our school we get more European and western history. But if anybody is interested i can ask my dad about it and post it here later.
2️⃣ On 10 October 2010 the Netherlands Antilles were changed to separate countries or municipals of The Netherlands. But they are all still part of the Kingdom of The Netherlands.
If anybody knows more about these topics you can post it below!! 🙂

Do you read in my mind, Yue ??? That’s crazy ! Because a few weeks ago I was looking for the old anthem of Netherlands Antilles, and I fell on YouTube videos, someone in Curaçao recorded the end of the Netherlands Antilles and when Curaçao became officially autonomous !! 😃😃
Here are three videos !
-> This first video was when the anthem of the Netherlands Antilles’ anthem was played for the last time in Curaçao.
-> The second video shows the final lowering of the flag of Netherlands Antilles in Curaçao, and the end of the Netherlands Antilles.
-> The third video shows the raising of the flag of Curaçao 🇨🇼 and the fireworks celebrating the official autonomy of Curaçao and the singing of its new national anthem.
It’s a deep moment and it’s truly special to see such a historical moment on the Internet !
Enjoy ! 😄🇨🇼🇳🇱

Wowww @Sabri_KC that is really special!! You know A LOTTTT about this a lot more than me!! 😛 You can become a special ambasador for The Netherlands! 😛 I am going to watch the videos this evening because i never saw them before! 🙂
Today the tornado in florida is so strong
That is true and in the news said people really have to leave or they maybe get killed by the tornado. I think that is one of the scariest things for people but also because your house will be gone and everything inside. That is terrible. Like a war happened and nothing is left that you have even if you get out quickly enough. 🙁

Today is October 12, which is my birthday. To be exact, it is my Chinese lunar birthday. Did you know that in China, a person usually has two birthdays? One birthday is calculated according to the solar calendar and the other according to the lunar calendar. But most Chinese people are used to the Gregorian birthday
It was so sad to see the chaos
We saw it on the news too. 😟 I hope that it soon changes again and that they can repair and find people who are lost and hurt.

Today is 12 October and I have three fun facts about today in the past:
1️⃣ On 12 October 1492 one ship from Columbus discovered the Americas and they called it the New World.
2️⃣ In 2000 on this day, a ship from America which was called the USS Cole was destroyed by suicide bombers of Al Qaida in Yemen.
3️⃣ Before 12 October 1901 the White House was called the Executive Mansion. But on this day President Theodore Roosevelt changed the name to the White House.
Did you know these facts and do you perhaps know more about it that you want to share? 🙂
