Places to go, people to see

Frivolous things I want to do in my lifetime:
- Go to Majie-Shuhui (the largest folk art gathering in China)
- Go to Mongolia: visit people living in yurts, learn the language, ride a Mongolian horse, acquire traditional Mongolian wardrobe.
- Visit Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua in Thailand and pet a tiger
- Participate in La Tomatina, a tomato fight that occurs between 11 am and 1 pm on the last Wednesday in every August at the Plaza del Pueblo in Bunol, Spain
- Be a part of the Venice Carnival: beautiful mask, elaborate costume, the whole deal
- Ride a horse at Becky's ranch! (I can't believe it hasn't happened yet.)
- See the chuck-wagon races at the Calgary Stampede
