Japan, summer means fireworks. There are lots of fireworks festivals, and getting together with friends or family and playing with handheld fireworks is also a classic part of summer in Japan.
The other day, though, one of my Australian students told me that you can’t just buy fireworks in Australia. Apparently, one of the reasons is that people have used them for pranks and caused trouble.
I heard that similar things happen in the US too, but apparently you can still buy fireworks there.
That conversation got us talking about fireworks, and also a little bit about manners and how people behave in Japan.
So, can you buy and use fireworks in your country? Haha.
