Describe your favorite cultural celebration.

I feel that my favorite cultural celebration as a Thai would be the Songkran festival. Every year, it is mostly repetitive, with people splashing cold water at each other. Since it is considered as a Thai new year, we would visit the temples, followed by sitting on pickup trucks and splashing water around the city. We would have big plastic container with water and use water guns to shoot other people. There are also people that choose to stay in one place and throw water at passing cars. It is also part of the culture to put white cold powder on people's faces. They smell of a sweet flower. Even though I often get sick afterwards, I feel terrific with all the fun. Even though it takes place in one of the hottest days of Thailand, we still felt refreshed at the sight of the whole city being full of water.
