On the 1st June, the state of Sarawak in Malaysia celebrated its Harvest Festival by its natives, the Iban's. Independence-X home country of Malaysia prides with multi cultures embedded in our history. The Gawai Day celebration is just one of many celebrations, we celebrate Muslim festivals, Christians, Buddhist, Hindu, and not to mention other international holidays such as Labour Day. On the 2nd June, we also celebrated our Sultan’s Birthday. Although our holidays are short, they’re scattered throughout the year. Malaysia generally has 14 National Holidays, and additional holidays, state based. We do have quite a few royalties here.

Might not seem as the usual “scientific” blog in GLXP, but considering its an international competition... :-)

I wonder if there’s any other country out there that has such diverse celebrations?

Peace to all.
