St Patrick's Day!

Tomorrow, 17th March is St Patrick, a really well-known saint and festivity in Ireland and the USA.
Here you have a nice webpage with videos about this day.
Young people wear green clothes, and drink beer from the very moment they wake up until they go to bed, so it's a day to get drunk and party!

If you want to celebrate it in Palma, just go to an Irish pub and you will realise how important St Patrick is for Irish and Americans!

Operación bikini? What's that?

In unit 1, we've been talking about food a lot. Fast-food, typical Spanish food, English food? (is there a thing as such? apart from fish & chips???). But now, spring is about to come and we, women, think that it's time for "Operación bikini". We try to get ready for summer, to be the most beautiful girl on the beach.

I wonder, why is it that we go on a diet even if we are healthy people and we are not actually fat? Is "Operación Bikini" so important? Have you tried the artichoke diet or is it better the sex diet? (ha ha ha xD) Are we women more obsessed than men about our image? Who is the guilty person here?
