I find today a very special day. I love to see how both Canada and USA and some other countries celebrate Cindo de Mayo. Usually they get drunk drinking tequila and margaritas, wearing sombreros or painting the national colors on their face and listening to mariachi music. At least that was what I experienced when I had the chance to be in Canada during that time. I remember the big banners all over the bars and restaurants announcing the "Cinco de Mayo". My reaction? "WTF?" Why that reaction? Becuase in Mexico, do you know what we do? Absolutely nothing.

Cinco de Mayo (or May 5th) is an overrated celebration that involves the victory that we had over the french armies (Zaragoza FTW!) about 170 years ago in Puebla (The only city that actually celebrates this day as a party). After that victory, we got obliberated by the French and we became part of France. Thanks to USA and its Monroe Doctrine, we were able to shake the french out of our country. An historical moment for Mexico but we don't celebrate it that much. In fact we don't even care sometimes. The big mistake some people do is that they think May 5th is our independence day and it is not, that would be September 16th.

Anyway, I really love to see that in some countries people actually celebrate mexican style, just remember to invite some actual mexican people to have even more fun. I would like you to enjoy Cinco de Mayo, even if you will be partying yourselves :lol: I will just have a normal day! :lol:

Feliz Cinco de Mayo.
