September eighteen

I think that September eighteen isn’t a date as significant as other in the history of Chile. But some historical facts and the tradition led to this day we celebrate the Fiestas Patrias. People often confuse this date with the day of independence, but this isn’t true.

However this date is an important occasion where the Chileans show the cultural aspects that define us, like the essence of a Chilean and is very interesting as the most of Chileans are identified by that date.

The holiday often may be longer, and in this day people go to the Fondas, dance, eat and drink a lot. All days of Fiestas Patrias people is happier and try to enjoy the most possible. I like to go to Fondas, and eating grilled meat. The kites are also typical of this date and sometimes I fly a kite as a child.
