So there were many unusual traditions that I visited, but the most prominent and most unusual one was definitely a festival that took place in China. It was called the Food Festival. And what made it unusual was how it was presented. So a normal food festival is not very unusual and it occurs in many countries with different traditional foods. But in China it was presented in a really weird way. So basically there were many different casual foods like some desserts such as cakes and pies, and dinner like ramen noodles, dumplings, rice, like the traditional food of China, and people were dressed up as those foods in the festival. Like I could see a guy wearing a pie costume or two people stacked up on each other wearing a hamburger sandwich costume. So that was really, really unusual, and also the games there were pretty weird too. There were some, like, dart games, for example, there were some festival games there, like for example, throw at the dart, like you have to throw some food at the dart. It wasn't real food, it was just some plastic figures mimicking food that you have to throw on a dart. And there was also a game of creating food, like cooking some food with some ingredients, which was really unusual and I've never seen something like that in a festival before. And there were so many other unusual games and events that happened in this festival. So yeah, that was the weirdest thing that I've ever seen.
