we left Jadeborough. It’s quite stifling, to be honest.”The woman didn’t try to stop him, seeing that he wanted to head out so much.The two of them quickly got ready and left the hostel.The Torch Festival was a tradition among the locals. Many people in traditional clothes could be seen on the streets.Everyone had a smile on their faces, happy that they were able to celebrate the festival.There was a huge torch in the middle of the square, a raging fire burning at the top. It lit up the whole square and the faces of everyone there.The fire burned so brightly that it outshined the street lights.Men and women, the young and the old, sang and danced.
