Many US Citizens celebrate Cinco de Mayo as appreciation for the benefits of many Latino cultures' contributions here in the USA --not the holiday of military pride for the Mexican victory in the Battle of Puebla de Los Angeles. Many people wear Mexican-inspired clothes, eat tacos, and drink margaritas. Many businesses that want to celebrate "Latino culture" have no idea that different South or Central American counties are VERY different from each other.
My children's elementary school always tried to celebrate all immigrants on Cinco de Mayo -- they usually had an international pot luck celebration.
In Japan, today is children's day. There are many fish flying!!

Are you doing anything to celebrate Mexican, Latino, Japanese, or any culture this week?
