Hi Nick,
My family and I arrived in Buđol, Spain yesterday. It‛s 
the town where La Tomatina is held on the last 
Wednesday of August every year. There are 
thousands of people here. Luckily, the weather has 
been wonderful.
We stayed up late, but got up early this morning to
attend the festival. We saw that some people had
already placed the ham on top of the greasy pole. I 
have to go now.

The Monkey Buffet Festival is a celebration that 
takes place in Pra Prang Sam Yot Temple, north of 
Bangkok, Thailand on November 25th every year. The 
local peoples believe that monkeys bring good 
fortune to the visitors. It has been held since 1989.
Nowadays, the festival became a major tourist event 
and travelers from all over the world come to 
participate and see around 2,000 local monkeys are 
fed with around 2,000 kg of fruit and vegetables by 
the organisers.
The Monkey Buffet Festival is definitely a unique and 
strange event that will give you a new perspective on 
how monkeys are treated. It promises a load of fun 
especially for people who loves animals. R YOUR AT
