Well yes, it probably is rain, but on a more positive note, perhaps it\u2019s those eccentric people wearing massive daffodils on their heads or maybe it\u2019s the iconic rugby union team that wish they were as successful as their English neighbours! Regardless, the most important day in the Welsh calendar, bar the first day of the Six Nations, is without a doubt St David\u2019s Day which takes place on the first day of March every year. To be honest, it\u2019s hard to believe that Tom Jones doesn\u2019t have a day dedicated to him given how fond the Welsh are of him! St David is the patron saint of Wales but I know that you\u2019re not here for a history lecture so let\u2019s cut straight to the fun stuff instead shall we? This day involves a huge celebration of Welsh culture as well as an immense intake of Welsh Cakes! But arguably the best part about St David\u2019s Day in Cardiff is the vibrant parade that takes place right in the centre of the city! This ceremony of Cymru provides an opportunity for all those who live in Wales, regardless of age, ethnic or social background, to join a dignified and imaginative celebration of Welsh heritage and traditions. From the vast amount of people dressed in Welsh costumes and covered with the Welsh flag, to the booming brass band performing the Welsh national anthem, you definitely won\u2019t forget that you\u2019re in the Welsh capital!"}, {"text_idx": "#000029", "text": "The iconic Welsh flag, just in case you\u2019ve forgotten what it looks like!"}, {"text_idx": "#000031", "text": "However, if you\u2019re lucky enough to be reading this post-pandemic crisis then you\u2019re spoilt for choice in regards to how you want to celebrate the day of the Welsh! Obviously, there is the invigorating parade where you will witness a sea of red dragons and St David\u2019s flags roaming through the city. These vexillophiles (flag enthusiasts) are extremely proud to be Welsh and they\u2019ll be more than willing to tell you more about the fascinating history of Wales. You could even perhaps learn some of the Welsh language as you interact with the Welsh natives. Then you\u2019ll be able to fit right into the Welsh culture and celebrations!"}, {"text_idx": "#000032", "text": "There\u2019s those vexillophiles I was talking about!"}, {"text_idx": "#000033", "text": "However, if you\u2019d prefer to celebrate in a slightly more tranquil environment then that\u2019s not a problem. The vast amount of historical castles in such a modern place like Cardiff will never cease to amaze you! If you\u2019re looking for somewhere to explore a little closer to home, then you can check out the stunning Cardiff Castle which features plenty of green space to relax in and even have a picnic if you\u2019re feeling peckish where you can overlook the castle on the hill (Ed Sheeran would be impressed). Put it this way, it\u2019s not very often that you find a 2000-year-old castle right in the middle of a city! There is also a gift shop where you can buy many Welsh goodies to help you get into the Welsh spirit! Castell Coch, also known as the \u2018Red Castle\u2019, is another exciting piece of history to explore. The best part about this castle is the fact that you can venture into the highly decorated interiors where you can get a proper taste of the medieval world. This castle is also located on a hill and is in the prime location of the Welsh Valley, meaning that you can get a true experience of majestic rural Wales."}, {"text_idx": "#000034", "text": "Celebrations are held throughout Cardiff, not just in the city centre!"}, {"text_idx": "#000035", "text": "However you decide to spend this special occasion, there is no question about the importance of this day not only to the Welsh but to other Brits as well who also celebrate it, no matter of their country of origin! So even if you\u2019re far away from Wales, there is no doubt that whilst you\u2019re attending Cardiff University, Wales will always feel close at heart!"}, {"text_idx": "#000039", "text": "Cwyno am bostiad neu flog"}]
