Argentines take their holidays seriously, which I can appreciate. Brent is not bothering to open his office on Mondays because he counted 14 Monday holidays in 2012. At home, holidays are this optional benefit thing that companies offer to employees. Here, you are required to give the holidays. By law, from what I understand.
A four-day weekend means a collasal city-clearing. Last night we were walking home from a friend's house and the streets were empty. (You would think this emptiness would extend to the grocery store. It did not.)
Today and tomorrow are holidays, as is next Monday. For me, this means relatively nothing, since the bar is still open on Tuesday night, and my yoga classes are still taught as usual.
