Armenia – Celebrates Women

International Women’s Day is on 8th March, and it is a National Holiday in Armenia, but it is not a National Holiday in many other countries. On this day, women are celebrated by highlighting their achievements, emphasizing their value in society, and pointing out the challenges women face today. 

Additionally, they are pampered with flowers, breakfast in bed and other special “actions” to show that they are appreciated and loved by their loved ones.

This day is also called the United Nations (UN) Day for Women’s Rights and International Peace. 

On 19th November is International Men’s Day, but it is not a National Holiday in Armenia.

Belarus – Rhombicuboctahedron Building

The top part of the National Library of Belarus in Minsk is in the shape of a Rhombicuboctahedron. That is, it has eight triangular and eighteen square faces. It is said to be one of the best libraries in the world. The National Library of Belarus opened in 1922. However, on the 16th June 2006 a new building, which took several years to complete, was opened. The library has over 8 million items in it, and this includes over 70,000 manuscripts, graphics, visual and audio documents. This twenty-two-story building also has a book museum, twenty reading halls, a sky deck and a center for international meetings and negotiations.   Notes: https://www.belarus.by/en/about-belarus/architecture/national-library https://www.nlb.by/en/about-the-library/
