Columbus Day

  
What do you think about the celebration of this day, should we celebrate it or just remember it???    There are some people that say that it was a slaugher...      Marco

  1. Well, I think we should celebrate this day because, slaugher or not, it is part of our legacy and culture and define us as the costaricans we are. We may learned about this in order to avoid any kind of discrimination.

  3. Fella there are a lot of thing in history that we cannot change, horrible thing that we've never seen or heard, but our present is what matters and we can change!!!!! I heard a proverb that says: "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mistery that we don't know, but today is a gift we decicide to recieve it or not that's why we call it present"

  7. This holiday Costa Ricans don´t take it too serious... It is a common day, I never celebrate it, just when I was in the school and in the hig school because I have to, not because I want it.
