Festivals

1. India Holy Festival - annual indian festival of spring and bright colours. Actually, there is no exact date of the beginning, because it depends on phase of the moon, that's why, it can be changed every year. (Usually- it's celebrating in the end of the February)
2. Spanish tomatina festival. Every year at Bungol it takes a place as a very weird and exciting festival, where the only goal is - to throw tomatoes everywhere! About 30.000 come, while very population of the town is only 9.000. Plenty trucks transport tonns of tomatoes to the city centre, and the fun begins!!! After all, the town is about to be cleaned by the hundreds of water engines, cleaning all of the tomato leavings!
3. Boryeong mud festival. Quite like the previous one..  Asians love weird things, yeah? That's how they do this unusual festival. The first was celebrated at 1998, and became as popular, that in 2006, 1.500000 guests were there! Special mud is bought near the city, and then it is free to take it from the "Mud Experience Land"stations on the festival area. (June's second week)
4. Wife Carrying World Championships, Finland (August 18-19th) . Participans compete on the obstacle course, carrying their wifes on the neck! The winner takes beer, equal the weight of his wife.. Wow!


5. Japanese Hadaka Matsuri(winter/summer time). The second name -naked festival. The only clothes there are traditional loincloth fundoshu. Half-naked Japanese and guests happily throwing water and mud to each other, as the symbol of the spiritual relief.. The biggest festival takes a place at Okayama, at Saiadazy temple, and more than 9000 men take  part in it!
