Chinese Father's Day

August 8th.

I won't be celebrating as I have already given up Father's Day as a holiday. Personally, I think Mom's deserve two days a year, instead. Plus I don't need any ties.

I have noticed some advertising for Father's Days gifts. Like cosmetics and stuff from L'herbolario, some make-up company that sends their catalogs around to my house and office.

You know, giving a man exfoliating cream or moisturizing spray for Father's Day is the equivalent of giving a woman a season pass to NFL.com or a beer of the month membership for Mother's Day.

Maybe it would work if the house is one of those new "Cindy has two daddies" households, but I don't think Taiwan has so many of those yet.
