The thai-Buddhist calendar starts from the he year Buddha is thought to have died. Pretty cool! Any other calendars that you follow?

    When I was living in Japan I followed the Japanese year because it’s commonly used. In China, everyone used the lunar calendar much more than is recorded. Especially 40s and older people use it for every holiday including birthdays. 20s-30s year olds might do western. It constantly messes with me because it’s not stuck with the solar calendar.

      Ah I love the 72 season idea of Japnese calendar. It’s so weird that we try to fit everything in just 4 tbh
