I daydream a lot about lazily traveling 'round the world (again). In one particular version of my daydream, I wander from country to country on the schedule of bizarre local festivals. Whenever I am ready to move on, I'll just see which nearby country is chasing wheels of cheese down hills,
breaking out into a city-wide tomato fight (but only after a ham has been retrieved from atop a greased flagpole),
dousing one another in bright pigments,
or parading toddlers affixed on top of 12-foot bamboo poles in front of multi-story towers covered in steamed buns.
Humanity is a fascinating thing.

Isn't there one where Greeks throw china plates out of windows?
I didn't know the Greeks needed a special occasion to break dishes, but it certainly sounds appropriate.
I shouldn't laugh, but that cheese-rolling thing is too Python-esque.
A thong? :}
