Article: 28th International Bathtub Regatta, Dinant, Belgium


The International Bathtub regatta is made up of a mess of buoyant, ahem, well, bathtubs. The bathtubs are made from scratch, decorated and designed by bathtub engineers (anyone can participate and build their own). These fascinating vessels make for an interesting contest to about 20,000 spectators. Sort of like a bathroom excursion. See how it all went down last week on August 15th. Video at break.

When you are in your travels one thing that you should do is to register for a local competition. It can be anything from Strong Man to Hot Dog eating contest. This Russian thespian decided to sign-up to a screaming contest in Pattaya, Thailand. Inhale, exhale, act out your favorite mishap or accident and scream... Plus you might win! Humiliation doesn't last that long and it makes great stories.

Love the American Idol look.
