2. Visit the Radish Festival in Mexico - Oaxaca is always worth visiting whether there is a radish festival on or not, but the with the Radish festival also on, well, why not.

3. Join in the Boryeong Mud Festival in South Korea. - There are strange and interesting festivals which take place each year in South Korea.
