"Faire le Pont" is a term in France that is used to describe a specific 4-day long weekend. If the holiday is on a Thursday or a Tuesday, then the French will skip the day separating them from the weekend doing "the bridge" over the weekend. They will, of course, still get paid for it. "Vinho Verde" refers to a Portuguese wine. "Vinho Verde" literally means "green wine" but translates to "young wine", with wine being released three to six months after the grapes are harvested. |
