Summerend with Burning Man!

Let’s burn in Nevada desert!
Burning Man is one of the most amazing and interesting festival in the world. Everyone who was there could say that it is very difficult to explain the vibe and atmosphere. What makes it more mysterious - the legend how it was started. And everything started with... Love. It is said that one guy, after breaking up with his girlfriend, made a statue and burned it in order to forget beloved woman. Somehow, this individual event became a huge festival which attracts thousands of people from all over the world every year.
The place makes sense too. Burning Man takes place in the sandy desert and disappears like nothing happened. The organisators has to carry out ecological requirements and pay a lot to get a permission to organise the festival.
Burning Man has different art theme every year. So this year be ready for Cargo Cult: we should be prepared for aliens to come! Most of us are many steps away from the Cargo that entirely shapes our lives. We don't know how many things are made, where they are made, or how they work; all we can do is look beyond the sky and pray for magic that will keep consumption flowing. So, it’s gonna be weird and hot!
There are some traditions there: we shouldn’t forget that we don’t need any money there – it does not exist in Burning Man festival. All you can get is by exchanging things or getting gifts!It’s not allowed to have any transport except bicycles too! There are no stages, showers, or food stalls here, visitors bring their own entertainment to this gathering filled with non-judgmental veterans, deep-rooted in radical self-expression through music and art.
Every year different statue is built for the festival (approx. 12 – meter – tall) and at the last day of the festival is set on fire – becomes a burning man!
It looks really awesome festival with many different things that you can’t find anywhere else.Prepare well and definetelly you will have the most amazing week in your life from 26th August to 2th September in Nevada, United States.
