Festivals play an important role in a culture’s identity. I can’t think of a better way of appreciating a new culture than by taking part in one of its festivals. Here are some special festivals around the world.
★ Boryeong Mud Festival--Boryeong, South Korea
For two weeks in July, millions gather in Boryeong to experience the grey pools and slides. What began as a way of promoting the region’s mineral-rich mud has turned into a festive party , complete with music and fireworks. While the mud is usually only available in cosmetic products, here you can cake yourself in grey as you want.
Holi, the Festival of Colors, is a Hindu celebration full of joy and one of India’s most important holidays. During the day of the last full moon of the lunar month, usually late February or early March, the air is full of bright colored powder. The festival is celebrated differently throughout the country, but the cheerful spirit is common throughout Hindu communities around the world.
★ Koninginnedag--The Netherlands
Although their current Queen’s birthday is really during the winter, the Queen still celebrates it on April 30th,the country’s official “Queen’s Day” since 1949. Orange is the national color, and the streets become a sea of feather boas(长围巾)and body paint as crowds gather in the plazas(广场). Amsterdam is the center of this outdoor party, with many live music acts, but nearly every town is alive with orange on this day.

| I have many hobbies, one of which is watching movies!I'm a big movie fan and watch. 1 from Bollywood,Hollywood movies to regional ones. Language has never 2 been a barrier and I enjoy all genres (流派) and storylines (故事情节). That also 3 films that might have not done verywell at the box office. 4 its not-doing-so-well only makesme want to watch it all the more as I'm 5 to know what itwas criticized for and what its downfalls were: It makes youlearn 6 to not make the same mistakes in your own projects. My 7 hobby is reading. I like reading books,although this is a recent hobby and not 8 childhood. I hardly even read the usual children's or teenagers' 9 likeMills and Boons. It was only during "Kasauti. "where Taraanawho 10 my on-screen daughter "Vishakha", got me into it.She would often 11 on her reading during breaks betweenshoots and I started myself too by picking up 12 she wasdone with. Then onwards I have been into it and I'm 13 it'sa hobby now. Reading has helped me in ways. 14 a performance in askit (滑稽短剧) or movie or any video, enables the character toconvey their emotions and dialogues. The 15 there is good,with live action but through books, the reader is open to his orher 16 and the understanding of the story, the plot makes you go 17 into it! That is what I love about reading. It helps understand the story, performance, emotions, show very well with the 18 and detailed descriptions. One book that really got me struck is The Alchemist. And somehow in my 19 life, I've been reminded of its brief teachings.It amazes me 20 one book can have such an influence on your life! | |||
