What i did?
I went to Los Andes with three friends. We stayed there the first three day. We went to the museum, We ate ice cream, we cooked meat and we saw a lot of movies. I had a great time with their. And the rest of the days i stayed with my family, we cooked empanada not traditional with spinach and turkey.
For me these days aren´t to celebrate, just are bank holidays. This is just an excuse to drink alcohol, don´t work and eat a lot of food. For me this national holiday don´t have meaning. It is like we remember to be Chilean only these days, but the rest of the year we forget the traditional dance, music, and our history. Our independence was on twelve of February of 1818.
I can relate to the idea of don't liking parties~
ResponderEliminarWhich exposition was in the museum? :O
Nice to read you~!
the archaeology museum of Los andes
EliminarI understand that the actual date of our holidays doesnt represent very well the real story, but in other way i believe that date was chosen and defined later, in one hand, for pure marketing and in the other hand because that date it represent the first expresion of uprising of our nation to the spanish imperialism.
