Growing up, my Chinese family didn't really celebrate Christmas. Consequently, we would always travel for family vacations on Christmas day. Christmas day flights were generally slightly cheaper than non-Christmas day flights, which was nice.

I also like how the writer asked for the daily number of unique users but got bandwidth usage instead.

- cperciva 8y agoI'm guessing they didn't have the number of unique users logged anywhere, and figured that their bandwidth logs were the next best thing. Rather refreshing to see that sort of thinking from a government bureaucracy rather than simply having an answer sent back of "unique users? Sorry, we don't track that".
