Except for México and the United States, no one else celebrates Cinco de Mayo.

It's often referred to as Mexican Independence Day, but that's actually September 15. :wink:

I was in Mexico May 5..in Tijuana, Rosarito, and briefly in Tecate', and it didnt seem much different from my other 2 visits.

I stayed in San Ysidro, California. (on the border) and there wasnt alot going on there either. Or maybe I just needed to get away from the tourist areas.
