Fireworks!!


Fireworks

In summer, fireworks exhibitions are seasonal tradition in Japan. When I was a kid, I was really looking forward to the night of mid-summer, usually held near river, along the bank there were lots of night stalls which were quite tempting.
It has long been since I moved from my hometown located near river, this summer, I went to fireworks exhibitioins with friends for the first time since then. It was a surprise for me that they blasted off nothing to do with edge of water, though it might be common for inland cities... In huge fields usually used as race course, number of people, families, friends, are sitting around chatting, eating, and even drinking. It was fun night!
