Thingyan Water Festival 09
June 14, 2009 10:09:19 PM
     In Burmese tradition, every year in April (June when celebrated in the US because April is typically too cold), there is a 4 day water festival called Thingyan to celebrate the new lunar year. Khine was told by a friend at work that there is a small gathering and festival held for Thingyan here in Nashville, so we thought we'd check it out. It was pretty neat. There was lots of vendors selling Burmese products, plenty of traditional food stands, and a stage with live music. Not too much splashing or spraying, though. According to Khine, in Burma, its customary to squirt or water balloon anyone you see weather you know them or not. All in all, it was pretty neat to get a taste of Khine's culture and to see her speaking and interacting with other Burmese people.
