Red Light Entertainment

When there's a red light in one of the major avenues of Puerto La Cruz, you might see street vendors come out and sell all sorts of random things from colanders to pirated movies, and others are entertainers who do tricks for money right in front of traffic. Tonight, I saw the most bizarre thing:

A guy standing in front of of traffic juggling sticks lit on fire!

It seemed pretty normal to my aunt and sister, who didn't really say anything about it.

I wonder if these kinds of things only happen here, or there are similar sorts of crazy entertainment happening in other red lights in other countries. Feel free to leave a comment if you've encountered such a crazy event.

Yup! That happens in Manila too. I don't even know where they get the things they sell. Sometimes, it's pretty normal like rags or cellphone chargers. Other times, they sell little flags or things that are based on the season :) I don't think I remember anything lighting up though.

I saw something very similar in Squirrel Hill just yesterday!
