There's been a lot of talk about 4th of July everywhere. Photos uploaded on photobucket.com, people talking about it in facebook, blogs, youtube, ALMOST EVERYWHERE. So being curious, I went to research what's so special about this day.
So after much reading, I've learnt that 4th of July is actually the Independence Day for United States of America.
USA declared independence on this day in 1766, so that makes USA "243 years old". USA gained independence about 200 years before we (Singapore) gain ours. Thats a lot of years man!
And I've also read from sources that the traditional ways to celebrate this day is to grill up burgers and hotdogs, attend fireworks display, drink and party!
A little like our NDP. Fireworks, performances and party at the floating platform at Marina (which reminds me that I'm burning my Saturdays away to rehearse for NDP). Come to think of it, most Singaporeans can't be bothered to celebrate National Day actually. I wonder if its the same in the States. Hmm.
