Festival Name: International Dragon Boat Racing
Festival Country: Malaysia
Festival Type(s): Dragon Boat, Sport - Water, National
The setting is glorious for this, the 30th annual International Dragon Boat Racing Tournament, in Penang, Malaysia. Surrounded on three sides by bluey-green jungle covered mountains - the fourth side a breathtaking view down to the local resort - the reservoir is as still as anyone could hope for for a rowing competition


Article Title: The Gawai Festival
Festival Name: Gawai Festival
Festival Country: Malaysia
Festival Type(s): New Year, Harvest, Religious
Gawai is an annual festival held every June in the longhouses of lowland tribes in Sarawak. It is a national event, promoted by local brews and municipalities, but in reality everyone leaves the cities empty to return home or visit friends. Gawai is a harvest festival, a New Year celebration, religious ritual and family reunion all at the same time.


Festival Name: Thaipusam
Festival Country: Malaysia
Festival Type(s): Traditional, Bizarre, Religious
As an avid attendee of matsuri (traditional festivals) across my adopted home country of Japan, I had thought there was little to touch them in terms of color, vivacity and raw animism. Until I went to Malaysia's Thaipusam festival, that is.
