The 1st of December is a holiday back home. It actually celebrates our
KISS-MY-ASS-SPAIN Independence Day.
But since a couple of years, when you ask on the street in Portugal why today is a holiday, they'll tell you it's because of AIDS.
Good thing is, teens think AIDS is important enough to deserve a national holiday.
Bad thing is, no one remembers our 371 aniversary of
KICKING-THE-SPANISH-BITCH day
Worse part is, the government wants to cancel this holiday from next year. Imagine what it would feel to an American the erradication of the 4th July, to an Indian the 15th of August, etc...
Oh well...
