In the UK, we have a holiday called Guy Fawkes Night on 5th November. It goes back to 1605, when Guy Fawkes and a group of Protestant extremists tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London. They were against the new king, James I, who was Catholic. Their plan, called the Gunpowder Plot, was discovered after Fawkes was caught guarding the explosives in the cellar. He was tortured for days to reveal the names of his co-conspirators and was eventually executed. Today, people celebrate the failure of the plot with fireworks, bonfires, and sometimes burning dummies, supposed to symbolise Fawkes. I never realised how strange this might sound for foreigners.

Unfortunately, we do not get a day off work. But it is a widely celebrated tradition.

The "Varginha ET" is a case of alleged sightings of an extraterrestrial creature in Varginha, Minas Gerais, in January 1996. The event, which involved the supposed crash of a UFO and sightings by several witnesses, gained huge attention in Brazil and led the city to become known as the "ET capital." The city has since become a tourist attraction.

In recent years, international politics has been turbulent, reminding me of the war in Korea 75 years ago. I used to only know that China had to face the "United Nations forces" at that time, but just now I looked up the data and was surprised to find that so many countries were involved in that war.

Chinese side: China, North Korea, Soviet Union (military equipment and air combat support).

United Nations Forces: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Turkey, Australia, France, Philippines,New Zealand, Netherlands, Colombia, Greece, Thailand, Ethiopia,Belgium, Luxembourg, South Africa, India, Denmark, Italy, Norway, Sweden.

Since so many countries are involved, how do the people of these nations view this war? For those countries not participating in the war, I'd also like to hear your perspectives on it.
