November in India

Hindus consider cows to be sacred, to the point where you simply cannot hit a cow with your vehicle, no matter what it's doing in the road.  Obviously, it was only a matter of time before other animals took advantage of this.

I was attempting to match India with the month of Diwali, but apparently this year, it's taking place on October 23.  Nuts.

The Love Parade

Welcome to the Love Parade, a blisteringly hot, ear-bleedingly loud weekend-long outdoor event in Bochum, Ruhr, Germany, on August 25 this year, during which parade floats blasting techno and trance music roll down the streets to throngs of drunk, scantily clad European co-eds.
It sounds, at once, like an incredible amount of fun, and a definite physical and mental health risk.
