UNIT 10: SOCIALISING

Recently we celebrated the "International Workers' day", and last Sunday, "Mother's day". These are common festivities celebrated in different countries. However, in some countries we can find other "weird" , and so not so common, festivities, for example "The Korean Alphabet Day" or "La Tomatina".
