Countries around the world are not averse to that idea, after all. Here are a few examples of those peculiar rest days all over the world that you should experience.

DAY OF THE SEA. This is actually a commemoration of a battle that occurred in the Port of Calama. In this battle, the Bolivian lost the battle to the Chilean forces. The Port of Calama, back then, is the last ocean-front property that the Bolivians have so losing it to the Chilean forces actually made a great impact on the country.

Korean Alphabet Day. There is no one who loves their alphabets more than the Koreans. It even come to the point of them setting aside a day for the celebration of the said event. A day out of the Koreans' life has been allocation for the celebration of the existence of the Korean Alphabet.

National Punctuation Day. The Korean Alphabet Day might be an ideal celebration for writers but there is one more. For the Americans, the Punctuation Day is definitely their fun alternative.

National Weatherperson's Day. Professionals who appear on your television to show you your daily weather forecast, with their suit-and-tie uniform as well as their impeccable speech, are called weatherpersons. These people have their own day set aside for them. The Weatherperson's Day allows people to celebrate the noble work of these professionals.

BERMUDA DAY. If you are on a tropical island, then weather reports are not always your main concern daily. However, you still need to have an idea on when it is already fine to wear shorts to your business meetings. When you are in Bermuda, you can consider May 24 as the day when it is okay for you to do that. Swimming in the beach officially starts during this day too.

Blessed Rain Day. When living in countries that are always ravaged by monsoons, having a day that celebrates when weather phenomena stop is worth celebrating. In Bhutan, you get to celebrate this rest day by outdoor bathing. The mythically purified natural waters are what you will use for this.
