Celebrating life.

“Once again, we come to the Holiday Season,
a deeply religious time that each of us observes,
in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice”
Dave Barry

What I prefer to do when I know a new country?  Where to locate my eyes when I come to a new country? At the culture. This is the goal. Knowing the traditions is very important because we need to celebrate the life. It’s very interesting to observe as the people love to talk about their culture, rites and traditional foods. The people is according to talk about this things because it appeals at the heart. In every country, people, who is a good host, forget to talk about politics, religion or other fussy topics.

In this way the culture enters by the astonished eyes, by the hungry mouth and by the surprise touch. By ears, rarely. All our senses are affected, implicated. For this reason, we must always keep our sense of wonder. Affecting our senses assures that our heart remembers.

I have three weeks in USA.  I haven’t had time to be homesick for my country yet. But if I look the life I must thank God. I received an invitation to live a party, a meeting, a celebration. And I decide to accept it.

Always I remember this saying, ‘Love, because love is the only real experience’. I think in the new people, the life in this country, the rich traditions.

Finally, by chance I found a very useful site: public holidays in the world. We can find the holidays by continents and countries. And we can find different holiday topics: national, religion, school, etc. The cover of the website shows a world map with flashing light. This indicates that today there is a holiday in particular region.
