At night time there is a sort of "roof" of pretty decorative lights lighting this little "village" like area, which allows the party to last all the way till dawn.

Andalusia Day

The Andalusia Day is celebrated February 28 and commemorates the February 28, 1980 referendum on the Statute of Autonomy of Andalusia, in which the Andalusian electorate voted for the statute that made Andalusia an autonomous community of Spain.

In many municipalities and cities of Andalusia, people decorate their balconies with the flag of Andalusia and with bunting echoing its green-and-white bars. Cultural competitions are often held in conjunction with the day. 

The Friday before is often a day of celebration in schools with a traditional Andalusian breakfast, consisting of a slice of toast with a thin layer of olive oil; students color pictures that refer to the symbols and insignia of Andalusia, its history and customs, put on plays and sing the regional anthem.

School Day of Non-violence and Peace

This day is observed on January 30 every year, on the anniversary of the death of Mahatma Gandhi, in schools all over the world.

Mannequin Challenge 2016

The challenge of the Mannequin Challenge is to record a video with all the protagonists immobile, like in the middle of a frozen scene, just like mannequins.

For the Mannequin Challenge to be more impressive, the participants will have to use their ingenuity to remain still in the most dramatic or fun posture possible.

Thanksgiving Day 2016

Thanksgiving Day is an annual national holiday in the United States and Canada celebrating the harvest and other blessings of the past year. In the US Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November while in Canada nearly one month and a half earlier (second Monday of October). Thanksgiving has deep roots in religious tradition, but nowadays it is primarily celebrated as a secular holiday.


Thanksgiving is a great time to be thankful and appreciate who you have and what you have. It is a time for families to meet, socialize and enjoy each other's company, sometimes the only opportunity in a year.

Autumn (Fall) Song for Children

This autumn (fall) song was written by me to be used as teaching material for kids in kindergartens where I give English classes for little children. The song is very simple and good for children of very young age who start learning English as their second language. You can use this song to teach about colors and the autumn season.
