Polynesian Fire Show

After dancing and getting photographed by Max, we make our way out from under the glow of the streetlights outside and the humid air to large indoor amphitheater. I look at the small black printed numbers on my ticket and make my way to the seat, stepping around others' legs. Sofie soon comes and joins me, and we wait for the lights to dim in the outdoor auditorium and a man in an aloha wear shirt comes out onto the stage. He announces the story, about the birth of some Hawaiian person in a Hawaiian legend, which sounds very interesting in some cases, but over the next hour and a half, I almost fall asleep.  My head is almost on Sofie's shoulder, falling asleep, when the lights dim and out comes a guy, announcing the Polynesian Fire Show. The next hour is a blur of screaming. It was amazing. My voice was hoarse the next day.
