Holidays

In my country the holidays occur mostly from July to September when children from high school go for what we call a big vacation after finishing the school year and students from university get done with the academic year too. In this period, the weather becomes cooler and dryer, but people always enjoy this time for having some fun. Others organize some culture activities; they go camping, vacation, and even hiking. In addition, the state in that time often opens the center of activities called "Fikin", which means the International Funfair of Kinshasa, where there are diverse activities such as music every Sunday and Saturday by some famous musicians of the country, comedies, exhibition of arts, shopping, and selling of children's toys for plays and games, and advertisements of some cellular companies like Vodacom and Celtel.

Also, most parents take advantage of that moment to bring their children there for enjoying the holiday too and to visit some other places and things they have never seen before. During this moment in that center, some tribes prepare their traditional food for people to taste, for example, one tribe called Les Bayombe may prepare a mixture of rice, beans, and manioc leaves with pepper.
