Review:

Quit your job and sell your house, there are festivals to attend. Surely before you're done with travel you'll want to take in a vegetarian banquet for 600 monkeys in Thailand, a ripe tomato battle in Spain, the Wilderness Woman Competition in Alaska, Sweden's Kraftskiva (Crayfish Festival), and Prague's Spring International Music Festival, held on the anniversary of Bedrich Smetana's death and starting off with a procession from his grave. And then there are the 996 others documented by Tom Clynes in 90 countries around the world. Time's awasting.
