Human Train March

One of the customs that takes place during the festival is known as 'human train march'. People from each department of the school make a long line and put their hands on the shoulder of the person in front of them, forming long train-like rows. These human trains then march through the streets, asking owners of the stores, restaurants and bars for food.
