"In Taiwan, Father's Day is not an official holiday, but is widely observed on August 8, the eighth day of the eighth month of the year. In Mandarin Chinese, the pronunciation of the number 8 is bā. This pronunciation is very similar to the character "爸" "bà", which means "Papa" or "father". The Taiwanese, therefore, usually call August 8 by its nickname, "Bābā Holiday" (爸爸節)."
Happy Baba Day. To you and yours.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Naurn! I went over after work to say happy baba day and give him a hug, thank him for all the sacrifices he has made for the family and he said, "we don't really celebrate that here."
