Celebrated annually on the first Sunday of May, the fun event was started by an Indian physician, Dr Madan Kataria. He looked for a way to make the world a happier place. In 1995 Dr Madan Kataria began with the introduction of Laughter Yoga, a fitness class where yogis used a combination of breathing exercises and uncontrolled laughter. Though only five students attended the first class, people gradually learnt about fun exercises. And in a short time, laughter yoga classes opened all over the world. Today there are over 6,000 clubs that offer this kind of yoga in different countries, from Australia to Kenya in East Africa.

Unusual Festivals The World's Messiest Food Fight If you’re in the tiny Spanish town of Buñol in Valencia, Spain during the last week of August, make sure you take a spare change of clothes because things get very, very messy! “La Tomatina” is a huge food fight that has been a strong tradition in Buñol since around 1945. No one really knows how it began, but everybody knows how it ends! The week of the fight includes a fireworks party, music, dancing, colourful street parades and even a huge paella cooking contest. Then, about 30,000 people throw around 100,000 kg of tomatoes at each other for one hour. Experience Life as a Pirate in the Cayman Islands Have you ever wanted to be a pirate?

There are also street parties, treasure hunts and a huge fireworks display. March of the Scarecrows Every year on 6th October, the central market square of Brussels in Belgium becomes full of people made of straw … yes, scarecrows! This festival, which raises money for local charities, has been extremely popular since it first started in 2001. Past winners of the “Best Scarecrow Award” have included a medieval knight scarecrow and even a Che Guevara one! If you think you can do better, why not enter the competition yourself? All you need are some old clothes and a bright idea! A Celebration of the End of Winter If you want to watch parades, see fireworks and open-air theatre performances and eat until you burst, then the Maslenitsa carnival (or “Blini Week”) in the heart of Moscow is the festival for you! This fun festival takes place around the end of February and celebrates the end of winter and the beginning of spring. For this reason, all the festival-goers eat blini (pancakes), which symbolise the sun (round, golden and warm). At the end of carnival week, there is a big bonfire to say a final goodbye to winter!
