Hello, today I going to speak about the Bicentenary of Chile
In a few days it will be commemorated, in my country, the “Fiestas Patrias”. This day is the anniversary of the Chile´s independence and is a day for celebrate with dances, tipical games, “chicha” and tipical food.
Well my interest for these date emerge due to like one week ago, in O´Higgins Park, I saw the people building the “fondas or ramadas”, a tipical place to celebrate to our country.
This year is a very special year for chilean people because it is fulfilled 200 years of republican life and for that reason we have four days to celebrate, and many events too. For all this, the september 18th of 2010 is a very significant date and is a reason to be proud of our traditions and moreover to our culture.
I hope that all of us have an amazing weekend with the friends and with the family, and that we eat many food mainly “empanadas” and of course, that we dance cueca (our tipical dance), and that the children climb theirs kites. All of these are my wishes for my compatriots because in my opinion, these 2010, are a different and a difficult year beggining with the govertment´s change, follow with the earthquake and with the tragedy of the miners, respectively.
I just want say with these words, that I wish to all of chilean compatriots, the best September 18th, and that we all enjoy of this important date for our country, and that we never forget either our traditions or roots...
And to finish, if I were with you, I would say... VIVA CHILE MIERDA!!!! Tikitikiti!!!
