Or a bunch of people having fun - water splashing festival ?
It's a wonderful name, and similar festivals are celebrated in many places at this time of year, but but -
it sounds like a whole bunch of people being allowed to have fun.
Frankly, I'm torn. There has to be some sort of payoff, and it's interesting to see one of the reasons why SE Asia tends to have a love hate relationship with China is the control of the Mekong, but - I've experienced the similar Songkran in Thailand, and it has to be one of the best reminders of the pleasures of simple enjoyment there is.
It's only a week, but even so ....
