빅토리아 데이. 라 오늘은 공휴일.
매달 하루 정도는 이렇게 공휴일이 있다. 금요일 혹은 월요일. 주중에는 공휴일이 없다.
처음. 프랑스 지배하에 있다가 영국과의 전쟁에서 패한 후 영국령으로 되었다.
실제 영국에서 완전히 독립된지는 20년밖에 되질 않았다.
어쨌든.
아저씨의 친구분들을 초대해서 저녁을 먹고 있는데.
이 사람들 목소리는 다들 왜이렇게 큰건지.
바베큐파티라 해서 밖에서 먹을줄 알았는데.
바베큐만 밖에서 해서 집안으로 들고와 먹었다. –;;
특별히 다른 음식은 없었고. 훈제 치킨은 꽤 괜찮았다. 샐러드에 오이랑 다른게 조금더 들어갔고.
샐러드에 뿌리는 소스. 드레싱 이라고 하던가. 이게 정말 느끼해서 먹을때마다 고역이다.
테이블에 앉아서 같이 먹기에는 자리도 비좁고 해서.
옆방에 애랑 같이 식탁에 앉아 먹었다.
새로운 사실은 한때 인도네시아에 모든 방송채널에서 한국드라마를 방영했었다는 사실.
지금도 여전히 한국 드라마는 인기가 있다고 한다.
배도 부르고. 밖은 시끄럽고.
More에는 학원신문에 냈던 빅토리아 데이 기사. 이거 쓰느라 꽤 시간이 걸렸었다.

Victoria Day
This month’s 19th is Victoria day.
Do you know what is the day?
I want to give some information about Victoria day.
The day is a holiday that celebrates Queen Victoria.
Her birthday is 24 May 1819. So, it is assigned 24 May in every year.
But, if the day is Sunday, it is postponed to 25th.
In Canada, it is designated as the Monday before 25th of May in 1952 and was permanently provided as Queen’s birthday in 1957.
During the 1900s, it used to be called Empire Day and then it changed to Commonwealth Day. Now Canadians call it Victoria Day.
Canada and England
In 1593, a frenchman Jacques Cartier gave Canada a name.
After France was defeated with Queen Anna in 1713, it was transfered to England.
The first Parliament of the new Dominion was established in 1867, and then the Statute of Westminster achieved in 1931.
Statute of Westminster removed the legislative authority of Parliament in the United Kingdom over the Dominions (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Newfoundland), with the following exception: As the Canadian delegation had been unable to settle on an amending formula, the existing scheme (i.e. a simple British law, subject to amendment by the U.K.) was retained.
British North America Act in 1949 gave the Parliament of Canada limited powers to amend the Constitution of Canada.
Canada Act, 1982
Last Act of the United Kingdom Parliament containing the English and French versions of the Constitution Act, 1982
>From that time on, the United Kingdom Parliament relinquishes the power to affect any Canadian laws, including the Constitution.
About Queen Victoria
Her farther is Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, a son of King George III
Victoria, who was queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and empress of India, was born in 1819. She was only 18 when she took over the throne in 1837 after her uncle George IV died. She ruled until her death in 1901, then her son Edward the VII became the King of England.
Victoria, born May 24, 1819, was the daughter of Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn and Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. Edward died when Victoria was but eight months old, upon which her mother enacted a strict regimen that, shunned the courts of Victoria’s uncles, George IV and William IV. She married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha in 1840; the union produced four sons and five daughters. She died at eighty-one years of age on January 22, 1901, after a reign of sixty-three years.
