Asian cultures generally celebrate their symbolic New Year with prayers, colorful processions, good food and sometimes even fireworks. The people of Thailand have added one more tradition - Having the world's largest water fight!
In case you missed it, Saturday April 7th, was International Pillow Fight Day - Yes that's right, a day when thousands of adults and children all over the world got together in their respective cities, to stage a pillow fight against total strangers
Festivals are the mainstay of the Indian culture - Not a month goes by without a celebration. However, none are as fun as Holi, the festival of color. Held annually at the beginning of spring on the day after a full moon, this year's festival was celebrated by Indians all over the world, on March 8th, 2012.
It seems as though Italians love a good old-fashioned fight - food fight that is. First there is the La Tomatina, where brave souls pelt each other with tomatoes and now the Battaglia delle Arance or Battle of the Oranges, where, you guessed it . . . . . . . Thousands of people toss rotten oranges at each other.
'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade' - This certainly seems to be the motto of the people of Harbin, one of China's coldest cities, where temperatures can dip as low as -4° Fahrenheit (-20° Celsius). That's because instead of hibernating during the coldest months of the year, they host one of the world's largest and most spectacular Ice and Snow Festivals.
A buffet for monkeys, a tomato throwing extravaganza, a wife carrying contest! Welcome to some of the world's most unusual festivals - While some are steeped in tradition, others are held just because they are a lot of fun.
Today, millions of Hindus all over the world are celebrating Diwali. Also known as Deepavali or the Festival of Lights, it is one of the most eagerly awaited and widely celebrated festivals of India.
Think food fights are only in television shows? Then, you obviously haven't heard about Spain's La Tomatina - the world's biggest food fight where thousands of people paint the streets of Bunol red (literally), by pelting each other with tomatoes.
Happy Easter! Hope you all celebrated the holiday with some fun traditions. Don't have a family tradition? Then maybe you can adopt one of these extraordinarily fun traditions observed by people in different parts of the world.
