How do you celebrate Tanabata?

Do you mark Tanabata? If so, on July 7th or August 7th? Do you do something at home to mark the occasion, be it special food, crafts, storytelling etc? Or maybe you go to a Tanabata Festival at some point during the summer?

Who are you supporting in the World Cup?

Are you watching the World Cup? I am very sad to see Japan knocked out today, but so proud of Samurai Blue for doing so well. I was supporting them, naturally. I am also supporting Cape Verde for several different reasons, one of which is that there is an Irish player on the team! But with their next match against Argentina...one can dream! Who are you supporting in this World Cup? And / or who would you like to see win it?
