I’m a bit concerned about the Holi Festivals though, since I am a female solo traveller, but it is also on top of my list, so I guess I’ll brave it. Thanks for sharing, Matt.

Not really a festival in the music sense of the word, but certainly one to indulge the senses is the Jinju lantern festival, South Korea. We really enjoyed it on a recent trip.

You clearly have never hung out with Thais during the festivity because they love the holiday, even those way OLDER than 25. Don’t even try and argue this point. 🙂

This activity is just one small part of the larger Fiesta de San Fermin, a celebration of the patron Saint of Pamplona. The festival itself is absolutely insane on its own even if you don’t consider the running of the bulls aspect. I’ve been and ran four times with the bulls, but that is just a small part of the fiesta – which makes Mardi Gras look like new Year’s Eve in a retirement home.

Drunken tourist seem to enjoy the eye infections and dysentery , but for the people who are over 25 and sober detest the week long torture. Don’t even try and argue this point.
