It is funny how things that you usually take for granted can be different in other countries. In France (and in most of Europe) it is the new school year. It has always been logical to me that the new school year should start after the summer holidays. But it is very different in many countries and particularly in the southern hemisphere where the new school year starts, well, after the Christmas summer holidays... logically in January. In Singapore, a country of many cultures, there always seem to be some kids at school. They officially follow the calendar year (starting school sometimes in January) but many - mainly European - schools were having their own start today as well.
