Chapter 277: Don't Run
If there is one color to describe Spain, it is undoubtedly red.
The red cloak of the matador, the bright red blood on the bull, and the tomato juice dripping everywhere in the tomato battle!
Every year at the end of August, tens of thousands of people are caught in the blood-red tomato stream and throw it to the fullest, which is the world-famous tomato festival.
Today, the town of Buñol, which originally had only 9,000 people, gathers more than 30,000 tourists from all over the world, all of whom change into light sportswear and get ready to receive a tomato baptism with a 10-euro ticket per person.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the first game of the ham competition kicked off. A piece of ham is tied to the top of a long, greased wooden pole, and the contestants climb on the slippery wooden pole to snatch the piece of ham that symbolizes victory.
Many young people are as nimble as monkeys, trampling on the heads, faces and shoulders of their opponents, the scene is funny and exciting, just at the moment when the ham is snatched, a large truck full of tomatoes drives into the square, hundreds of tons of tomatoes are dumped and overturned, covering the streets, and the tomato war officially begins.
The cupola cannon sounded, the water began to spray, and the tomatoes flew in from all directions, and the battle began!
Everyone has no scruples, throwing away their image, baggage and mask, regardless of themselves and strangers, as long as they can grab tomatoes and smash others hard, their ears are filled with screams and laughter.
Even if he plays a game, Xia Long and Xia Hu also protect the lord tightly, but fortunately, Alice is clever and buys goggles in advance, otherwise his eyes will be sour.
In order to ensure safety, tomatoes must be pinched before throwing them so as not to hurt people, and in an instant the streets are all filled with red rivers, and the whole town is filled with tomato pulp and juice, which is an opportunity to make up for some VC quickly.
Everyone was contaminated with red tomato residues and natural bright red dyes, and some jumped directly into the tomato pile, wantonly spreading joy, eating and playing, and venting to their heart's content......
"God, don't run!"
Johnson was a little reserved at first, just wanting to feel the festive atmosphere, but a few big tomatoes hit his face, good guys, there is a kind of you don't run.
In the end, she picked up Alice and threw her directly into the tomato pile, and the little girl instantly turned into a red villain, and everyone laughed.
When the cupola sounded again, everyone stopped, and the official fire truck was sent to wash away the tomato corpses for everyone after the battle.
Small-city residents and thousands of volunteers turned on all the tap they could and threw themselves into another battle – cleaning the streets.
SC Johnson is no exception, and as a chef, you have to be a good cooker to be clean. After more than two hours, the entire square and streets were cleaned as before, and the city of Buñol returned to its usual tranquility.
A full 160 tons of tomatoes, more than 30,000 people carnival, but unfortunately only once a year.
All tomatoes are substandard products, and only waste is used in the end, and the ticket income is hundreds of thousands of euros, which can be regarded as tourists disposing of garbage by local farmers in disguise.
It is said that there was an old man selling vegetables in the village, and when a group of young people passed by, his stall was knocked over, so the young people seized the opportunity to pick up tomatoes and attack each other.
There is also a theory that a musician who was playing with a guitar in the town square was often attacked with vegetables because of his boring and out-of-tune performances, and the people around him apparently agreed with this practice, so they also grabbed tomatoes from the vegetable stall next to them and threw them at the player, and this intensified.
Find a hotel to wash well, I don't know if it's a psychological effect, I feel that the skin is refreshing and smooth?
Back in Madrid, choose the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium for a La Liga game. The stadium, formerly known as the Olympic Stadium, was rebuilt by the richest man and can accommodate 70,000 people.
I don't have much interest in football, but there are too many well-known Spanish stars, what Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Messi......
As with concerts, one person and thousands of people can never be compared, let alone 70,000 people. Today Barcelona vs. Real Madrid, Mars hits Earth. Sure enough, the atmosphere of the football stadium was very touching, and the fanatical fans, led by the live DJ and die-hard fans, sang the home team anthem, waved the team flag or scarf rhythmically, and caused waves from time to time.
Before the game started, the fans on both sides were already on the bar, and even Johnson, who ate the melons, couldn't help but be moved by this fanatical atmosphere.
Only on the spot, the stars are not far from you to show tacit cooperation and skillful footwork, you can carefully observe the overall combat ability of these top teams, as well as grasp the rhythm of attacking and defending. Every detail of the pass, turn, get out of the action.
Especially not limited by TV broadcasting, his eyes are only fixed on the idol in his heart, his every move on the field affects your nerves, and it really does only you in my eyes!
Cheer, scream, cry, applaud, and stomp. After the game, there was even a chance to send him flowers, take a photo with him, or get his autograph.
Keep in line with the fans next to you at any time, cheer, applaud, sing, and stomp with them, and see the halftime break, Johnson actually has a feeling of not being able to stand it?
I finally realized that watching football is also a physical work, I originally wanted to drink saliva, and I could only endure it silently when I looked at the long queue at the door of the toilet.
Finally stay up until the end of the game, follow the home team fans to leave the field first, so as not to encounter conflicts with the away team fans, keep your head down, and run quickly.
Do not linger near the stadium, and when participating in the celebration parade, you must be careful to walk with fans wearing the same jersey, otherwise you will ......
The pace of life in Madrid is very slow, and many places in the south actually go to work or school at 11 o'clock in the morning, leave work at 1 o'clock at noon, and after 3 o'clock, they are not taking a nap, but on the way to take a nap......
The day is very hot, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, the climate is very similar to the frontier, the dry air quality is good, the ultraviolet rays are strong, and the clothes washed at noon in the room are dried directly in the afternoon.
Small country, the capital is not much, the cost of living is much lower than other cities, public transportation is very developed, subway, high-speed rail, bullet train are readily available, there is no need to crowd on the bus, and the air conditioning is cool and comfortable, the fare is cheap, and the living life is very comfortable.
The locals are super liberal, and graffiti art can be seen everywhere, embodying the spirit of passionate hip-hop. The cost of graffiti is actually very high, not only is the spray expensive, but it also has to be chased by the police, but it can't stop the love and expression of art.
I heard that girls like German men, gentlemen, golden, rigorous, and more attractive than lazy Spanish men. The streets are full of long legs, the weather is hot, and the backless waist-length miniskirts are all open-backed, and the beautiful legs are very worthless here, but they are big breasts......
Well, you get the idea.
