Dia de La Mujer

Ok, so you know how there are all those random national holidays that no one celebrates except for a few weirdos who just happen to know what's going on? For instance, I always love celebrating National Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day, National Hug a Tall Person Day, and National Man Watcher's Day...but no one ever believes me when I tell them what I'm celebrating because I'm the weirdo. (For a complete list of random national holidays see http://www.louderbacks.com/home/dict/days.html).

Well, today is National Women's Day, and apparently its a really big deal in the Dor. Almost every boy I talked to today said "Happy Women's Day", the owner of the restaurant where I ate lunch gave me and my friend roses, there were marches in downtown, and everyone made excuses for girls today like "well since it's your day I suppose it's ok." I am all about celebrating, but I was not ready for this. A national day that everyone in the nation actually celebrates?? Que extrano.
