Dandelion Tamaya! Hahaha… My first time in Mall of Asia was for Pyro Olympics! I’m so glad that we made it eventhough the ticket booth ran out of tickets. It almost had a stampede because there are many people waiting in the line just to buy the tickets but it ran out before the event starts. The crowd control just took 5 seconds to be break down…And there! The people who were waiting to buy the tickets just past through the barricades without buying any tickets at all.[We Belong :evil: ] It wasn’t our fault because they lack the tickets. It is held every year so they must have thought the estimated number of the people. Good thing the policemen didn’t thought we were suspicious :D . We found a good spot for capturing the fireworks along the embankment of Manila Bay.

The fireworks were really great although the Manila Bay stinks…

My brother took a lot of pictures. You are welcomed to see them! So just asks me if you want to see some! There would be fireworks display again next week but I have an orientation in my college -_- . My brother and I would be coming for the last week of May. It was a shame because it will be Canada that will display their display for next week. By the way, this week was China and Germany. [Hahaha… just search Pyro Olympics in Google and you’ll b able to pick up some information and schedule of the countries participating in the said event]. I hope there wouldn’t be any conflict in my schedule…

Japanese fireworks displays trace their origins to the early 1600s, in the Edo period(1603-1867), when shooting off fireworks along the banks of the Sumida River became a popular summer event. Commercial makers such as Kagiya and Tamaya in Tokyo were especially famous for their fireworks, and it was a common practice to shout “Kagiya” or “Tamaya” with each firework burst. You can still hear this kind of shouting in the crowds today.
