Unusual Festivals

    Every country has its own festivals to celebrate different things. Some festivals are more interesting than others because they are unusual—and a lot more fun! Here are just a few unusual festivals from around the world.

    Holi, the festival of colours, is in India, Nepal and other parts of the world. Holi celebrates the end of winter and the coming of spring and it lasts for many days. During the festival, people throw coloured powder (粉末) and water at each other. It's one of the most colourful festivals in the world.

    The only colour during another famous festival is red. "La Tomatina" is in Bunol Spain, in August. People come from all over the world for a big food fight. All over the city, people run through the streets throwing red tomatoes at each other. The streets get very messy but everyone has a good time.

    Another strange and cold festival, Quyllur Rit'i, is in Peru in every May or June. People celebrate with music and dancing on top of a glacier (冰川)! The festival lasts for three days and, at the end, everyone walks out together carrying torches of fire.

    Finally, how about a festival with animals? On the last Sunday of November, people in Lopburi, Thailand, invite some unusual guests to dinner at the Monkey Buffet Festival. Hundreds of monkeys come and they eat a lot of fruit, nuts and vegetables.

Are you an "I" person or an "E" person? People have talked about it a lot online recently. They are part of a popular personality (性格) test called MBTI.

Everyone's result has four letters. "I" and "E" are the first letters. People are either "I", meaning introverted (内向的), or "E", for extroverted (外向的).

But sometimes introverted people can be outgoing, too. For example, an "I" person will hang out with a group of introverted friends. The person may do things a more "extroverted" person would do. For example, he or she may share their thoughts and feelings with others and ask strangers for directions.

I'm one of these kinds of people. Most of the time, I show an interest in new classmates and friends. I talk with them to show I'm friendly. But honestly, I like being alone and staying quiet.

I have to say, the personality test is just for fun. Everyone's personality is different. Don't let the test tell you who you are.

In this case, I was a bad example. I used to be very interested in my friends' MBTI results. I would get upset if their results didn't match the way I see them.

Soon, I think everyone might have a "personality stamp". For example, "P" people don't like to make plans. On the other hand, "J" people are planners and list-makers. My sister is a "P" person. She never plans. But one day, she was happily making a day-to-day travel plan for the holiday.

"I thought you were a 'P' person," I said to her.

"Do I have to follow what my personality test tells me?" she replied.

"Oh no," I said to myself. "I've taken the result too seriously."

The four letters don't tell you everything about a person. And no one should live according to what four letters tell you.
