Holi Hai!

Adam covered in paint

I've been in India to take part in a special festival called Holi. It's to celebrate spring turning into summer. The main tradition is that everyone throws coloured paint at each other. Children mix special dye with water, fill water pistols and then soak their friends. Everyone ends up REALLY multi-coloured.

It was amazing to see. There was a very friendly atmosphere. Every time I stopped to film something the camera was pelted with clouds of colour and water bombs. I ended up TOTALLY covered in paint! I've just had a bath and was scrubbing for TWO HOURS and it's still not come off. I now have green and red hair.

It was really good fun!!!! I thought about keeping the colours in my hair (I actually didnt have much choice because they wouldn't wash off for AGES!) but decided that they looked a bit too weird on me. I don't think they will ever come off my shirt though....
