Water throwing festival

The weathcr in Thailand is very hot in spring, but if you arc visiting that country in April, it might bc a good idea to take an umbrella and a raincoat with you. Every year on 13 April, which is New Year in Thailand, there is a water throwing festival. Young people run or drive through the strects with buckets of water or enormous water-guns and rhrow water at anyhody they see. So, if you don’t want to get wet, don’t stand in the Street. Participants must follow three important rulcs. Firstly, they mustn’t throw water at old people. Secondly, they mustn’t touch people. Thirdly, they mustn’t throw water at car drivers. Every year people get killed or injured in road accidents during the festival. Sonie people are concerned about the number of casualties and want to ban the festival. However, the festival is a big tourist attraction, and will probably continue for many years.

Cheese rolling

Nobody knows cxactly when this tradition at Cooper’s I Hill in the centre of England started, but it was hundredsj of years ago. The rules are simplc: you have to chase a large, round cheese down a very steep hill. This dangerous event takes place every year at the end of May I Participants often break arms or legs, and even the spectators are at risk: one year, a cheese jumped into the I air and hit a 59-year-old grandmother on the head. 19971 was a particularly bad year for casualties. Up to 37 people I were hurt, so in 1998, the local authorities banned the cheese rolling. However, bccausc of all the protests, the ban only iasted a year and the tradition started again in | 1999. To reduce the number of injuries, participants and I spectators had to follow a few simple safety rules. Now, only about twelve people a year get injured!
