Forty World Championship
The traditional Ecuadorian sport finds the occasion to celebrate its world championship during the capital festivities. Delegations
from all over the world fill the hotels in the city to participate in
the tournament that is a mass sensation in Ecuador and Tuvalu Ulterior. Being
the main objective of this traditional game to reach forty, there is a
logical explanation of why only the old decrepit ones in the city center
are champions.
The winners of this important tournament receive as a reward the right to occupy the first rank of the rabid mob in the next presidential overthrow, as well as a discount coupon in any fast food network in the city.

World Championship of Wooden Cars
After
the failed Karts track project proposed by Velasco Ibarra, infants from
the center decided to improvise and use the local ingenuity to replace
the promised vehicles. It
is so with the wooden remains of the buildings, some wheels stolen from
the supermaxi carts, and other materials, the children of the center
meet annually for another ritual of sacrifices of the capital
festivities in a frantic and accelerated race in scrap metal self-provided by the slopes of the center of the city. The winner is the one who usually survives the race with the lowest fracture rate. It
should be noted that in this race is the "concern" of the parents of
pilots between 6 to 10 years, using a protective equipment that at most
is a half-use helmet and shredded by the uncle, grandfather, some dude
there, who once had a motorcycle, and who has more than that dancing in
the head to the poor baby, take crashing speeds, and no matter who
crosses the road (the police motorcycle, a neglected sheet out
there, the typical open-mouthed, the new noveleros of the television
and its "staff") practically "fly" and the best reward is that the car
arrives in one piece and of course the pilot.
CELEBRATIONS DAY OF INDEPENDENCE OR 4 JULY (EEUU)
Is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The Continental Congress declared that the thirteen American colonies regarded themselves as a new nation, the United States of America, and were no longer part of the British Empire.The Congress actually voted to declare independence two days earlier, on July 2.
Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions,
and political speeches and ceremonies, in addition to various other
public and private events celebrating the history, government, and
traditions of the United States. Independence Day is the National Day of the United States.
These colors are those of the American flag and, at the same time, those of the famous Uncle Sam (Uncle Sam), who is the personification of the United States as a nation and, specifically, the Government. This character was created during the First World War and looks like a man of relatively advanced age judging by his white hair and beard, and serious face, as well as a white, blue and red clothing that clearly reminds the US flag .US., Especially for its characteristic high top hat with red and white stripes and a blue band with stars. Many are the ones who on July 4th dress like Uncle Sam or, at least, they wear this hat.
Basically, any celebration of July 4 begins with the deployment of the flag, a visit to the nearest parade followed by any family party or among friends and, as a climax, the forced fireworks.
CUSTOM
During this day there are numerous exhibitions and outdoor parades of a markedly patriotic character. Obviously, these exhibitions are accompanied by a series of costumes and representative costumes in which three colors always predominate: red, blue and white.These colors are those of the American flag and, at the same time, those of the famous Uncle Sam (Uncle Sam), who is the personification of the United States as a nation and, specifically, the Government.

Rodeos of Bulls
Los estadounidenses celebran el 4 de julio de diferentes formas, según la parte del país donde residen. En Texas adoran una jornada de rodeo, en California las escapadas a las playas pacíficas, las zonas de interior, un buen picnic o barbacoa a base de hamburguesas, costillares o hot dogs.
THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT ON 4 JULY
The highlight of any good 4th of July that boasts is the fireworks. The most prominent place is the Statue of Liberty, on the island of Manhattan, a monument completely related to the sense of independence for Americans, so the fireworks fired in this place takes on a prominent role with more than 22 tons of merchandise pyrotechnic, while other mythical places like Lake Michigan in Chicago, the San Francisco Bay or the Reflective Pool to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC also let their own fires escape.Basically, any celebration of July 4 begins with the deployment of the flag, a visit to the nearest parade followed by any family party or among friends and, as a climax, the forced fireworks.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion,
the traditional festivities of Quito and how the Independence Day of the
United States is celebrated are not very different, relatively the same
things are done but representing each country respectively.
But there is something that stands out in Quito, unlike the US, it does not respect what it is to have the party in peace, a clear example is the fact that the bullfight was withdrawn because it did not respect or take responsibility for what the people were doing, while in the United States it is allowed for their customs and education for their homeland.
So they are not very different parties or celebrations, the only thing that differentiates them are their attitudes, especially their people.
