For these soles will be held on "traditional" lights on the International Fair Chinita. It is a conglomerate each lighthouse ornaments, wire, tree, bush, windows, fence, statue, fountain or simple mutt with bad luck abounds in an exaggerated amount of light yellow or yellowish. Out there a little guy reciting a poem thought by saying Maracaibo was the city whose "November was sunny even at night." Not that the idea of \u200b\u200bhaving more hours of sunshine a Maracucho cheerful, but more or less illustrates the idea.
lights switch on takes place under the Fair of the Chinita, fair which I have already spoken on this blog, and other input that will probably just go through the key dates. Excuse for all out to get drunk marabino wrapped by a familiar environment: sweaty hubbub and burped, blaring music at every corner you can not reach an agreement, but only violent mob itself, bitch at each stop, the same toys, the same vendors, the same colors that do not combine or Cupid. Kitsch.
However, the switch has an origin rather adorable. Maracaibo that happened in about 10 or 15 years that every house in the middle class was filled with Christmas lights. One could see luminous beauty, houses whose contours were adorned with lights. This tradition can still be seen in some other apartment window. The truth is that over time, more thieves in the city, the less light that lasted up to date Christmas key, less economic potential had to choose between having the crib or tree or lights, the lights were pushing their peripheries, and there were lights inside the house where they are not be stolen, or that I had another that could afford . The other was the state when one of these years of the new millennium, invented a story of a city "very modern" and decorated the streets of Bella Vista, as they were at home at the time, and as Christmas Maracaibo begins in late October and in May will be lit in the middle or early November. Although they do not know the creators of this tradition, all this comes to mind with the idea in the months dark, bring in more light. Those cultures that celebrate the Yule or winter solstice know more about it. Adorable, really.
What is not is lovely to think on too celebrate this year, in which a energy crisis plaguing the nation's various sectors . It is not uncommon, however, that the maracucho not mind any of this. Sadly, these soles have a tradition of anti-green consciousness. We do not keep anything, do not recycle anything, do not care anything unless we have to. Just look who is also traditional to see the old Maracucha washing the sidewalk at full blast, letting air out of the house and light on, the TV on in the room when absolutely no one is paying attention, the guy who fixes her hair jet of water leaving the dying in the sink, go driving and throw out the window glass or bottle containing the debris that had just eaten; in short, may list up to repeat the prehistory, but only enough to say, to realize the point that traditional remains the killing of bulls in the exhibition of the Chinese. It is the ultimate irony that in a fair for a saint, are murdered for no reason. Was not that the Catholic religion and the sacrifices were not practiced?
This is not a political issue since the planet does not take sides in any political camp. It can be quite certain that the energy problem is caused by bad government, but not paying attention and, worse, exacerbate it, is like one who for relieving liver disease goes to the bar to drink a drink, you know, serves for pain.
Nor is it a question of breaking traditions: it is not completely eliminate something that identifies us as a people, is to allow human evolution comes to us. A proposal is made by the team AnimaNaturalis : A Call Anti-Taurine, which consists of a group of candles lit on a night specific to form a natural light show and live and share a tradition and a potentially destructive construction. It is "turn swords roses" as the English group would say that Wizard of Oz.
As for the lights, and up to us as a people, think about what you can do to improve this tradition, to see if we still remain a planet where maracuchos, where there are still those who talk soles so that Perdroso the Bear, the mascot of Polar Beer not become our destiny.
