Water Festival Celebration April 11th 2015 Myanmar Burma by Robert Swetz
 
Water Festival in Myanmar falls on the 2nd week of April every year. Water Festival a New Year Celebration that last approx 5 days.
All the cities and towns close all their businesses for 5 days and the whole country of Myanmar is full of music on stages, water sports and so much more.
 
Robert Swetz aka Vegas Bob has had the opportunity to celebrate Water Festival in Myanmar 2 different years. Vegas Bob rode in the back of flatbed trucks with local Burmese while other Burmese sprayed water from hundreds of different stages through the cities and towns.
Vegas Bob even had the privilege of spraying people from different stages, even one time with a fire hose.
 
Vegas Bob has been celebrating New Years celebrations in America all his life. Celebrating New Years in America is "Nothing" compared to Water Festival in Myanmar.
 
Water Festival is so much fun that Vegas Bob looks forward to the next time he has the opportunity to celebrate New Years in Myanmar sometime in the future.
 

Please view the video above and you will know exactly what Vegas Bob is talking about ;o)
