It is really strange being in a country where Good Friday is treated as just another day! Here I am in Denver, Colorado where people on the radio keep referring to "The Easter Holidays," but no where was closed, not even the schools. So who had the holidays I kept asking?
Then I heard on the news that Wall Street was closed. Strange, I thought since it is more or less accepted that Wall Street is controlled by Jews!
And when you consider that Good Friday is a holiday in other countries that have very little Christian traditions....example Sri Lanka, it gets even weirder.
I guess it is going to take me many moons to understand what is broadly referred to as American Culture!
I write from the heart, whether it is about topical issues, my many treks all over the world, or just lighthearted fluff. I simply enjoy sharing my thoughts and experiences and getting valuable and interesting feedback.
