empanadas

 

anticuchos

 

 

lots of alcohol and more and more food

congrats... here the national day we have also a parade... military, attend with the King and the Prime minister (Presidente del gobierno)... i use to watch the parade on the tv just to see la cabra de la legión .. jeje.

if i'm not mistaken that's what we do on national day... we have that day, a bank day, not a whole week. lucky you lore ;)

 

btw the anticuchos here are called pinchos morunos.

I need to learn the typical dance :uhoh: I totally forgot it

Did you get my message Lore in the babyshambles thread?

nope :uhoh:

I just did it :nice:

Oh lucky for some,i wish I had holidays!! :(:(

mid-sem break coming up, week after next and i can't wait. however listing all the assessments etc that need to be done...doesn't seem much of a "break", but i'll take it either way lol totally not complaining!

 

i am counting down the days, can't wait in fact. going to reeeelax on the coast, attend my friend's 21st and meet up with old school friends...

a whole 10 days without classes is fine with me :cool:

Bank Holiday - what is this? The US has no such things, as far as I know.. Our Post Offices close for minor holidays, but Bank Holidays?

January 26th is Australia Day. It's not very formal, very laid back. Most people just fire up the barbecue and have a game of backyard cricket! There is an Australia Day Test Match in cricket which is also very popular to watch.

Well that's probably because the Aussies don't do "formal"!!:P

Germany's national holiday is on October 3rd (day of reunification in 1990) and a parade like above in Chile would be absolutely impossible...

it's a big parade.. with the police, military, air force, etc... the president goes there and also there's some people who dance typical dances ... and you can watch that on tv but it's a bit boring sometimes :laugh3:
