CHILDREN LOVE SCRATCHING THE DANCING FIRECRACKER WATUSI AGAINST CONCRETE SIDEWALKS AND CEMENTED SURFACE, ALTHOUGHT THE GOVERMENT
HAS BEEN WARNING AGAINST IT.BECAUSE OF CHEMICAL POISONING.

Pots and pans are clanged to scare away evil spirits.

A few men shoot guns in the air if they think they can get away with it.
