Do You Know What "Bank Holidays" Are?

Hello everyone. I'm back to introduce you a curious English expression called "Bank Holidays".

Probably, the name will make you relate to some kind of holidays. And yes, it is! Mini-holidays, to tell the truth.

The expression refers to the public or national holidays in the UK, when banks close and financial transactions come to a halt. Most of workers get  days off, because offices don't work on these days.

Most of "bank holidays" in the UK are on Mondays, what turns normal weekends into long week

WHO AM I?

God made me. I was no accident, no happenstance. I was in God's plan... and He doesn't make junk, ever. I was born to be a successful human being. I am somebody special, unique, definitely one of a kind. And I love me. I have talents, potentials. Yes, there is a greatness in me. And if I harness that specialness, then I will write my name in the sands of time with my deeds. I am thankful to God for being me...

Lam Cake

This is a cake from my town. We call it Lam cake. This cake is very sweet, but delicious. It is made by baking and has many layers. The person who makes this cake must be heat resistant and has extra patience. The ingredients are 10 duck eggs, sugar, milk, coconut milk and wheat flour. The price of each slice is more than one hundred thousand rupiahs, expensive but worth a taste. If you have diabetes, please don't eat this cake too much or your blood sugar level will get high.

Writing Challenge: Invent a Word

English language has very wide vocabulary; there is almost an equivalent for each word, so it is hard to make a new word in English.
I made the words “co-brother-in-law” and “co-sister-in-law” for men married sisters and women married brothers respectively, but when I searched online dictionaries, I found that these words have already been invented in English, of course they are uncommon in English and just used in South India.

Where Are You From?

“Where are you from?” is the most frequently asked question on EC. Though I have never asked it, I always take the trouble to go to the member’s page and look for the info there.:))))

Me…I could not remember…maybe 2 or 3 times. I just say by only word: bitter. Yes, really it was bitter. Even I could not breathe but it made me strong and get more experience

December is usually the season of durian in Palangkaraya. I am very happy because durian is my favorite fruit.
