关于下周放假~

其实我也觉得很奇怪为什么我们学校下周没有课~不是什么节日的话，难道是所谓的“春假”（也太早了吧）~~~

是不是因为春节呢???那就太羡慕你了....我们要上课

学校放假跟超市商店没关系

荷兰南部的狂欢节。

from Klaassen M (2007) Dutch for English-speaking expats. Vandorp Educatief, p. 352:

2 februari - 8 maart
'Carnaval' was originally a last celebration before the Christian 40-day fasting period in commemoration of Jesus who, according to the New Testament, fasted for 40 days in the desert and reflected on Christian values. Nowadays, 'Carnaval' is most celebrated in the Netherlands in the predominantly catholic provinces of Limburg and Noord-Brabant. On the last day of 'Carnaval', people dress up in Carnaval costumes and walk in the Carnaval Parade.

Carnaval，一个月后还有复活节吧
