Adam: That's great. I love live music. Do you have any like events or festivals that I should go to when I'm in Nepal
Jin: Actually, in Nepal there's a lot of festivals, but I would recommend you to go there when there's a festival called Holi. It's around February ... March. (Laughter) So yeah, the festival is around March and what we do is we play with colors. We throw colors at each other, and then even throw water balloons. It's really fun, like the whole environment is really colorful, bright and everyone is very happy.
Adam: Yeah, that sounds like a lot of fun. I think I've seen pictures of that before. How many days is that celebration?
Jin: It's actually only one day.
Adam: Oh, really?
Jim: Yeah.
