Mardi Gras
2012.2.21 Tue
February is well known for Valentine's Day but another famous celebration is Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday in English. From the New Year until this day, usually about 6 weeks, catholics, and sometimes others, will give up something. This time is called Lent. Sometimes people give up smoking or eating certain foods but other times, they give up shopping or other bad vices. Mardi Gras is the celebration that we were able to hold off temptation. If you have the chance, visit New Orleans in the US or Rio de Janerio in Brazil to see these festivals in action. Happy travels!
この時期ニューオリンズでは、世界３大カーニバルの一つマルディグラが開かれています。
