The First Time
As I watched the adult falla burn, the fire all of a sudden got really really big. Everyone started walking backwards away from the fire. It was getting so big that people started getting nervous and were trying to move away a little bit faster. For a second there I thought, "Oh shit, this can potentially get really bad and everyone would start running away causing a stampede". But luckily, it didn't. The firemen were there to keep it under control. We were all safe and happily enjoyed seeing a giant fire.
The Second Time
It was almost impossible to see the last falla burn. Everyone in town was pretty much in Plaza Ayuntamiento, which is not big by any means. So everyone was trying to find a good spot. Some people went as far as climbing on top of kiosks...I still don't know how those guys got up there. Some decided to sit on large garbage bins. All over the city were large industrial garbage bins. The lids are like a semi circle, so people can still sit comfortably on the peak of the semi circle. I, unfortunately, was standing next to one of these garbages. There was just no other place for me to go. The garbage was at full capacity, seating-wise. This dumb kid (who seem to be on something) was determined to place himself on this garbage bin. And somehow he did. Throughout this whole drama, you can tell everyone was just annoyed with him. He was pretty obnoxious. Three minutes before the burning was going to start, all of a sudden the garbage lid started sliding towards my way. Down goes the people sitting on the garbage, including the jackass. It was pretty ridiculous but pretty hilarious at the same time. Everyone around me started clapping. We hated that kid.
