Holidays Calendar switched to Hong Kong!

Today I updated Mavericks to 10.9.4 and the Calendar application started showing the Honk Kong holidays calendar instead of the US holidays

Apparently there's no way to configure which calendar appears when selecting the "Show Holidays calendar" check box in Calendar's General Preferences...

My Mac Book Pro is correctly set ot the US locale and if I open Maps it gets the correct location (more than 10000 miles from Hong Kong...)

I seached through all the .plist files and Calendars data and nowhere found any reference to Hong Kong

Is there a way to configure the default holidays calendar? How Mavericks select the country?

Yea, I was guessing I can do that only on Mac. I am happy with this "undeleteable" calendar only if it shows NZ holidays, not HK.

Thanks for the help!

I have the exact same problem as romanserazhiev shows in his/her screenshots. HK calendar. My iphone is set to language English, with region Finland. Sigh.

My Calendar in Mavericks changed to Mexican holidays on iMac, and UK holidays on Macbook! I live in Finland!

Go to http://www.icalworld.com/holidays.html

Find the calendar for your country and subscribe to it.
