13 Jan 2012
As I was sitting in my first class of the day, the English teacher asked one of the students to write the date on the chalkboard. It was then that I realized that today is Friday the 13th--a typically unlucky day according to superstition.
I was curious if it was the same in Spain.
Apparently, it isn´t. While we share many superstitions in common (black cats crossing your path, broken mirrors, walking under ladders), this isn´t one of them.
Instead, martes (Tuesday) the 13th is considered bad luck. They say: "Ni te cases, ni te embarques." In English, on Tuesday the 13th, you shouldn't marry or go on a trip.
