How Would you Like to Holiday?
There is a destination for people of all preference and a mode to suit every pocket. While a camp in the countryside or the hills could be somebody’s idea of a rejuvenating getaway, others would like to go river rafting, or a jungle safari.
The coastal resorts of the world offer wonderful opportunity to explore the ocean and organizers will ensure you get the time of your life scuba diving, fishing, deep sea swimming or just having plain fun splashing in the saline waves. For some, the time to visit regions of cold climes is winters when they could watch the snowfall and have all the fun they have only dreamt of having.
In a world that’s full of surprises, you just have to name your calling and there would be a destination to make you happy. Head for Switzerland, the basket of nature’s bounty in the lap of the Alps, if mountains excite you; take a trip to the Caribbean if sun, sand and sea are your scene; cover England, France, Italy, Spain and Greece if you are intrigued by history and fascinated by monuments.
More over, half the thrill of holiday trips is in your choice of travel mode. You could fly from one destination to another if in a hurry, or book a space in any of the cruise liners that sail luxuriously slow in the waters of the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian and any other ocean of the world. The cruise liners are known to pamper the traveler silly and some are even dedicated exclusively to gays and lesbians.
Traveling by train is another luxury and the railway network of Europe and Australia are perfect for a journey on the tracks. Travel by some famous trains like the Orient Express and Palace on Wheels is an experience in itself.
Yet another style of traveling is trekking, in which people abandon all modes of transport and simply scale the track on foot armed with a sleeping bag and food rations. The destination could be anywhere and nowhere. That’s the spirit of traveling and a footloose holiday.

Why would anyone celebrate a foreign holiday like Cinco de Mayo?
Why would anyone celebrate a foreign holiday in the United States, especially one like Cinco de Mayo?
How many other nations celebrate our Independence Day?
Do you get similarly upset every March 17th?
Actually, I spent July 4th in Vienna Austria. They had fireworks. Imagine that.

We are so diverse it really can’t be helped. Our diversity is what makes us great why not let them celebrate?

it is a stupid holiday. i think we should make a big building that say "Sinco Del Miyo Party inside" with a big net on the floor. then when the meixicans walked in, it catch them all then dump them inside a truck that sends them back to meixco.

is it a mexican holiday? what do they celebrate?
References :
Because of cultural diversity. I mean, the last time I checked, Mexico’s kind of close to the US. Do you get this pissy and bigoted on St. Patrick’s day?

I suspect many people will celebrate anything at the drop of a hat just so they have a reason to party. As far as other nations celebrating our Independence, I would hope that they all would, because without us this world would not be nearly as free as it is today.

For the same reasons we celebrate St Patrick’s Day. Or are you not opposed to that holiday because is concerns white people.
References :
Cinco de Mayo is NOT Mexican Independence Day. People celebrate it because of margaritas and mexican food – it’s a good excuse to party.
References :
Because there are so many Mexican-Americans (both legal AND illegal) in the U.S. it is celebrated here, apparently more than in Mexico.
You should read up on the history of the celebration and the events it celebrates.
Cinco de Mayo is the date of events that did positively impact the U.S. in the 19th century. By thwarting French advances and adventures in Mexico, the Mexicans may have contributed to saving the Union, since the French were semi-allied with the Confederacy. (It’s a bit complicated.) This is something the U.S. can legitimately share with Mexico.
