Unit 3: Urbanization & Industrialization (Revisit and Reflect)


Well, because I'm kind "out of my mind," I would choose San Fermin, Spain (Pamplona) because I like extremeness, San Fermin would be a good place for me to live, also because I love to run, so, in San Fermin I would run away from the bulls, this crazy festival of Bull Running started at the beginning of the 13th century on October 10th, they used to do dances, music and bull fights, and in the early 14th century they moved to July 7th, they had mixed dates each year, and in 1591 they established the official day that would be on July 7th, People launch a rocket, and when they do it is the signal to open the doors for the bulls, which means every runner has to run "for their lives," but is fun anyway.

The bad thing about this party is that, a lot of people get injured by the bulls, and sometimes they die. that's the only negative thing.
