Buenos Aires has got a metaphysical bridge. And the best thing about it is that such bridge does not tell truths to those people who cross it but those people who appreciate far from or below it. Because in this city without river in the middle, bridges pass over the railways instead of water.
If there was a prize for the days with a great number of travelling, undoubtedly that date would be Holy Week. It is very simple: different from the summer holidays, this week is not related to the seasons or climate and takes place at the same time in the northern and southern hemisphere. Maybe, for that reason, in Uruguay such days are known simply as the Tourism Week.
The International Women’s Day –celebrated since the beginnings of the XX century– was born as a political date, a statement on the equality of sexes and a defence of women’s rights. With time, in many places the original meaning was lost and March the 8th became more of a romantic occasion.
