Bicentennial Celebrations

I love this month, because starts the spring and we have days in which we can eat, dance and rest, if it is posible. This year is more important, because Chile celebrates 200 years from it Independence (or the First Goverment Sesion) and there is a special ambient. In some places, all houses have a chilean flag, which is not habitual another years. At the school, childrens are preparing dances or representations about tipical zones in Chile, which they will present next week.

There will be many celebrations in Santiago, like National Stadium inauguration this sunday or a big light show in La Moneda next week. I won tickets for the musical "La pérgola de las flores", in a mall, which is considered one of the celebrations of the bicentennial. I think that will be a lot of different parties and events along the country.

In Santiago, a tipical place to eat, dance and drink (for whose who are interested) are the "fondas" in Parque O'Higgins. In my case, last two years I was to San Fernando, near of Rengo, at the official "ramada" with my sister, friends and cousins. It was very entertaining because is a place where you can go with your family and friends without problems. It's probable that this year we'll go to San Fernando again, to continue the tradition.

Now, the question is: Who know what we celebrate on September 18? This is not the problem in this moment, because the people is interested in to celebrate, and in to say "Viva Chile!"
