Haven't done it yet, won't do it this year because I'll be travelling, but in 2007 I'll be there! And Bordeaux wine festival -------------------- A day back around the world « Sans curiosité on meurt et sans courage on ne vit pas. » [ Hugo Pratt ]

It is an awesome week where more than 20 countries have different shows, so if you go to Colombia at the end of April, get some tickets for one of the different shows. http://www.festivaldeteatro.com.co/xfestiv...icio/index.html Caro! -------------------- Check out my videos and pics!!

World's longest skating rink, yummy beavertails, outdoor concerts (yes Canadian are a tad nuts), ice sculptures, French Canadians, and other chilly wonders. Good times. -------------------- My travelogue

Nothing better than a sausage in -40 degrees..... haha And for those of you who are a tad whimpy, don't worry, it's a dry cold, so it's not really that bad. hahaha. Okay, it is. Wear layers. Lots of them. -------------------- Jess' Travelogue Jess' Website: publications, upcoming travel etc.

Currently living and teaching in Shaanxi Province China Member No.: 277 Nominate me as a Local Expert	WOW, -40 and happy at a festival. So many people are so much stronger than I! My greatest festival is called the Meredith Music Festival. An amazingly relaxed time. Held in a natural ampitheatre in bushlands about an hour or so from Melbourne Australia. It's been going for 16 years this year. I've taken my esky and tent to about seven of them. Heaps of tents, eskys and great music with a small crowd! Those who run it thankfully won't allow it to expand into a monster! Food is provided by the Hari Krishners. There are so many fantastic bands from all styles during the day and into the evening. From midnight the place turns into a huge rave and to finish the weekend off, on Sunday afternoon there is the Meredith Gift. This race is totally nude and the winner receives a good Aussie slab of beer (a carton of 24 cans). hava look: www.mmf.com.au Don't get that in China! Thats a real Bugger for me! PS: it is held in the beautiful hot Melbourne SUMMER! Around 30 degrees! -------------------- http://www.travelpod.com/members/eddakath Grab a beer N click here Who knows, maybe you'll stay awhile
