👀 I do like the cultural meanings embedded in the names of months and days in English (and various other languages), as opposed to Chinese where you're just like, oh, what a beautiful Weekday Two of Eight Month... Also, always found it interesting how Japanese retains the literal, linguistic roots of Monday and Sunday, at least. How did humans decide on all this shit?
农历！yes so true I love their names ❤️ so poetic… I guess I’ll have to do a follow up on calendars?!?! Have you written on this before that I can share 👀 going to snoop your site now lol
Since you're a mapper, you must do one on calendars. While you're at it, check out Indic Bhaarat's calendar. It's called the panchaang. It's cycles are in sync with the moon, and guess wot? It's got no need to have leap yrs!! (Perfection, indeed!!)
I know! I thought you probably got a lot going on so I left without hopping down to Wellington! Anyway the move took up the entire trip - it was way too short! But I’m planning to go back so we should meet up!
🙈 right there with you, Vicky. Thanks for the fun explainer!
Hahaha 🙈🙈 thanks for reading John!!

Yesssss totally agree 🙈🙈 despite all the beautiful 4 character idioms, date and time got such dry treatment 😂
But then there are those lyrically named and climatologically accurate solar periods. 😊 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_calendar

OMG, with past life events, I totally forgot you were going to be in Tauranga! Are you still in Aotearoa?

The 787 butterfly and airplane names must be connected!! You'll have to keep us posted if you end up hearing from 'an aviation geek / butterfly phD' 😂
Also 🙈! I had no idea about the names of months, but it totally makes sense now that you lay it out like that.
