Snake-fighting, it's very scary fighting snake. 
Very dangerous so is very po-popular, 
At midnight everybody dancing on street
Here, everyone with same identity, down their sake, sake is
Very strong, like vodka, very dangerous, so everyone get a rolled
Up newspaper, set it on fire, and put it in between

Snake-fighting life

Strong food answering drink at midnight

Typically it is a place where the souls of the recently departed go, an afterlife or a Realm of the dead. Chthonic is the technical adjective for things of the underworld. more »
