[00:00:00]Do you guys know about San Jordi?

[00:00:03]>> [laughter] >> I see I'm so sorry Jordi. I'm so sorry.

[00:00:07]Here in Catalonia we have St. George St. George's Day St. Jordi. That's their version of Valentine's Day and on St. Jordi Day the men give a woman a rose and a woman will give a man a book.

[00:00:18]>> [laughter] >> You look confused.

[00:00:21]That doesn't make sense to you? No. Why why are we doing this Jordi? Can you remind me?

[00:00:26]Why why a book? Because in the day where Cervantes and Shakespeare passed away the same day and the same year I think.

[00:00:34]Okay. Okay.

[00:00:36]So Shakespeare died once >> [laughter] >> and now we give books to to men because it would be dangerous to let women read. That would be dangerous. We don't want them to KNOW TOO MUCH.

[00:00:49]>> [laughter] >> THEY CAN'T READ. YEAH YEAH let's >> [laughter] >> Do we like roses? Do you like ladies do you like to receive roses?

[00:01:00]What would you You'd rather a book?

[00:01:02]>> [laughter] >> Well then starting from today we shall give the men the roses and the women shall learn to read and that is Yeah.
