Judging from their wearing,i can tell that these people are from Thailand.The costumes they are wearing have unique designs and patterns.The colours used are striking and some of them are wearing a tiara-like thing made of gold on their head.Overall,I think that the whole dressing really suits.They seem to be in a happy mood,so i guess they are celebrating some joyous occasion.The three women standing at the center of this picture are each holding a watergun.It looks pretty stange to me because it kind of look childish on them.The waterguns give me an idea that this festive season may be related to water.

From what i know,water festive is the day when people from some other countries,mostly southeast asia,throw water at each other.They dance,sing and party all day.On the top right hand corner,i can see a caucasian man smiling to himself.i guess he is enjoying himself in this special festival.Although this is a total new experience for some people in the picture,because they are of different races and culture,i feel that it is very important for them to respect each others traditions.Back to the picture,i can see a group of people at the back of the picture in somehow similar costumes.Judging from their facial expressions,i can tell that they are having lots of fun together.In Singapore,we do not celebrate such occasions.So,i think that it is very rare for people here to get together once in a while,as a country.

Although water is precious,i feel that it is equally important for us to celebrate such occasions because this a tradition passed down many years ago.People should continue it and passed down to future generations.Furthermore,such occasions can help reduce stress and lighten poeple's mood.It can also bring people from all over the country together.I will really like to join them in this special occasion someday.
