  9. The April Fool's Day is on April 1st.It's similar to Holy Innocents Day on December 28th in Spanish culture and it's celebrated in many countries in Europe and the United States. In Italy and France it is called Fish April and in Scotland was known as April-gowks.
    In this day the people do hoaxes and other jokes on frinds, enemies and neighbors. The press publish pranks.
    You must be careful.
