Good morning, friends. Today is census day in my country. That means that we have to be up early, just in case anyone comes to ask us questions. I was censed half an hour ago. The man who came was nice but dod not accept a cup of coffee I offered him. The questions were centered on the material of the house I live in, my family and the study degree I have. I was surprised that he did not ask me about religion or income. Those questions were in the last census I remember although one could say that we did not want to answer them. So now I´m for an early breakfast. Leticia had to stay at her home for the same reason. And after breakfast, I´ll check on more notifications. See you.

I remember the census coming when I was a young child, but they do not come anymore.

In the US it is done by mail then if they have more questions they may show up to ask them.

@marguicha They had two forms going around when they did it here, it was random and some people got the short form while others got the long one. I made mine the short form and only answered half the questions

I once worked for a company that did a census. I haven't seen it done before or since I worked at it and that was when my kids were very little. I'm glad it was done early and you were able to get a good breakfast afterward.

Good to have it done early. Here we do our census through the mail or online.

THat can be done here in the city, but it would not reach small towns maybe.
