It's so strange to us because here the day off is Sunday. And even then most things are open for at least a few hours, if not the maximum hours allowed.

Supermarkets and clothing stores are also closed on Sundays, but not museums and cafés, because that is the day families can go out and do stuff together because the parents don't have to work :)

In Poland, up to a few months ago I think, Sundays weren't any other for stores and supermarkets. The working hours were an hour or two hours shorter than other days. Then our ruling party said it's a big no-no because church, god and all that shit and so now most supermarkets and all stores are closed on Sundays. On one hand, it's okay, but on the other.... Sundays were usually paid 200% of rate, at least in most companies, soo.... yeah... 
Edit: Hey, confetti rain, I finally completely quit that mobile game! :D Ash will be proud. I logged in, told them I quit, wrote a general goodbye message to everyone and logged out. In a few days I'll just uninstall the game, for now I'll leave it. I don't have time nor will to log in there anymore so I might just forget about it XD It was too time consuming.

Well done mem!
Eesh, that's harsh. I hate being told what I can or can't do like that. The government of any country should recognise they may have people around who don't follow the same religion, so just leave it open for everyone. If you're a person who wants to not work on Sunday because of good, fine, do that. Just don't force it on everyone else. Same thing with countries where you can't do basically anything as a woman because of Sharia law.

Nice progress with that mobile game!
I am quite biased regarding that matter. I grew up with supermarkets and shops being closed on Sundays, so I never saw this as a necessity. Some states in Germany though have their shops open on Sundays so that people are annoyed by our state having them closed. It's just a matter of being used to things or not.
I thought it was convenient that the shops were open on Sundays in Ireland, but I just would have reorganized my schedule if it was different, so no biggy for me :)

I've grown up with them being closed, but I still find it inconvenient now even though they mostly just close early at 4pm Always a Sunday around 5pm when we realise we're missing something from our groceries and it's too late to buy anything.

@jacob: exactly, I'd still appreciate the stores being open. There's always something missing and you can't buy it because everything's closed 
@Julez: I think it's not even as much the case of getting used to it, but it's more human nature: we've had something very convenient and now it's taken away from us. So we feel it's unfair.

I also forgot to mention, I had my first day of teaching yesterday :D I took four lessons. It was quite fun actually. I didn't have many problems. Just there was one student who I couldn't understand clearly at all XD But I guess that's why they are taking lessons~

Yea maybe it is also about the convenience :)
Oh nice, glad to hear the lesson went well!
I am getting my tattoo done today, but I have to work until lunch ~
