Jui-sen, an overseas student from Burma, runs into his American friend, Lucy. He invites her to the Water Festival activities in Chungho.

Jui-sen: Hello, Lucy! Say, what are you and your boyfriend doing this weekend?

Lucy: Nothing. Why?

Jui-sen: I want to invite you to come to Chungho. We’re having a big festival to celebrate the new year.

Lucy: The New Year?

4

Jui-sen: The Burmese New Year. We celebrate it in April with a water festival.

Lucy: A water festival? Sounds interesting. What’s it like?

5

Jui-sen: It’s really fun! Everyone just throws water on everyone else. We use hoses, buckets, anything we can find to get each other as wet as possible.

Lucy: You’re kidding! And here I thought Asians were all so quiet and reserved. I can’t imagine them throwing water on each other.

Jui-sen: I guess we usually are pretty reserved, but at this time of year we forget everything and just have a crazy time! So will you join us?

Lucy: Sure! I can’t wait. I’ll bring my umbrella!

Jui-sen: You can if you want, but it won’t do you any good!
