Hi there, folks! How are
you doing? Now pull up a chair, a sofa or whatever.
And focus, for I'm ready to impart my news. I’m so happy because I passed all my
exams. Apart from that, I attended “BA Celebra Irlanda y Escocia.” It was so
good. This post is going to be about my experience in the first edition of this
BA. Usually Ireland and Scotland are celebrated on different days. But this year,
they were celebrated together. At the end of the post, I’m going to give you my
opinion, about this idea of celebrating two communities together.
Last Saturday was
exhausting for me. I had to attend my Korean lesson, and at the same time, I had
to go to BA Celebra Ireland and Scotland. I ran from Palermo to Mayo Avenue. But
it was totally worthy.
The celebration started
as usual with a big Scottish and Irish parade.
All the groups marched a long
Mayo Avenue. Then, the first dacing
group hit the stage.
This is the first
edition of BA Celebra Scotland that I attended after my trip to Scotland. I
cannot compare walking down The Royal Mile with this, but for a moment it
brought back happy memories.

I ate a vegetarian
burger and Ice cream. I also ate cakes and some delicious Irish cupcakes.
I really had a great time in this cultural festival. But I would like to celebrate Scotland and Ireland on separate days. Having their respective celebrations is something the coordinators asked the government to arrange for next year.
It was the first time in nine years that two communities have to join to celebrate their days. I really enjoyed this festival, but I felt it was more about Ireland than Scotland.
In August, we have "The Highland Games," which are purely Scottish.
Here you have a summary of this event.

That's all folks. Have a nice day!
