Culture

An amazing festival organized by Guinness. I think they should develop it more and make it know all over the world. People love such festivals, and I am sure many tourists would like to visit such an event. I also love fishing. Usually, I'm doing this with my dad and grandfather. We have a lake not far from our countryside, and there is much fish to catch. But it is important to know when to go fishing. The authorities started to include more restrictions because people caught too much fish when the season had not even started. So it is perfect to know when to go fishing, catch fish, catch it, and so on.
