During the 1st day of my visit to Myanmar i woke up to the sound of loud music from the streets. Its just 7 am in the morning and everybody is preparing for this event. In front of every house they prepared water buckets and water guns, wheres in the big junction they set up a big stage with 20 to 50 water jets for the public in called this "Panders". At first, i don`t know whats this is all about, but going to breakfast that very morning i got splashed by kids in front of their houses. Luckily my phone is not wet, so i stuffed it into a plastic bag.
Passed 10 am, everybody already pouring into the streets, either into one of the Panders or into pickup trucks. I got a friend in PETRONAS Myanmar operation, so i went into their sponsored Panders to join in the celebration. Armed with 2 waterjets I hit everyone came in front of our Panders especially in the trucks. This better than Wet & Wild, Sunway Lagoon! They even got local artists perform on some of the Panders.
The next day Ive got a chance to join into one of the trucks. We droved into all the major street to be jet by the Panders. However, we didn't came there unarmed. We got a big bucket of water full of ice! If a jet were pointing at me, I just splash this freezing water back to stunned them. This thing lasted for another 2 days. I really have a good time during Tingyan. It is said that the water splashed of jet is to cleanse the sins for the whole year.
