Holi festival




Holi


Holi is a hindi festival of colours or the festival of love. It is celebrated in Spring on the day of the full  moon( Februrary- march). Holi celebrates the " death" of winter and the " re-birth" of spring.  The  genesis of the Holi festival is inferred from the different Indian myths. During this festival the people  kindle bonfires, where the symbols of Evil are burned. The objective is to eliminate the differences  between rich and poor and to reach the Divine. Holi is celebrated by people throwing colours powders  and water at each other. It is a good time to meet with other people and improve relations with old  friends. The people eat, dance and play music. Holi is a very beautiful festival. To my mind, it is the best time in India

Divali!!!





In this post I will write about " Divali" - " 

festival of lights" which we celebrated on 23 

October





Divali is also know as " Deepavali" and " festival of lights "

which celebrated in autumn. This festival lasts for five days.

Every hindu lights the olive lamp in front of his house to 

welcome "Lakshmi", the goddess of fortune and prosperity. 

The lamps represent the victory of light over darkness, good 

over evil. A lot of cultural events are hold for the celebration 

of this festival.


It's one of the most important traditional  holidays celebrated 

in the whole India. It is a very good  opportunity to meet with 

family and friends. The Indian culture is very close to me, 

because I lived with an Indian  family last year and had to 

celebrate all hindu festivals with them. It was a very good 

experience for me.

Corfu

In this post I would like to talk about a wonderful 

island called Corfu. 



It is a Greek island in the Ionian sea, off the West coast of Greece.

There you can find beuatiful beaches, green olive trees and the perfect 

Mediterranean climate. Compared to other Greek islands, Corfu is very green.

I have spent the last six months working in a hotel on the beautiful island and 

it  was the first time I have travelled there.

Some things shocked me at first, such as a dog jumping around in a bank and 

women smoking in an office, however soon I got used to it.

I found that my favourite Greek food is Mussaka which is an aubergine and 

potato based dish with local and regional variations. Greek people are very 

welcoming, kind, happy and generally nice to be around. Without a doubt it 

was one of the best times of my life. I was able to experience a new culture, 

place and meet lovely people. I hope I will get the opportunity to go back there 

soon.
