There are all kinds of business festivals nowadays in cities,but in the countryside especially in the towns like my hometown,people don't experience so many festivals.Last Saturday,the sixth peach flower festival began. As the economy develops and the society changes,the peasants in my hometown don't plant rice which they depended on in the past,and they plant crops like peaches instead.The government notices the chance to draw visitors with the beatutiful peach flowers,so they hold the peach flower festival. However,the peasants don't know what the festival means.They just find it is very interesting and they can find a lot of fun from the festival. The business and industry in my hometown is not developed yet,so people living here are just local people.Last Saturday evening,a foreign rocky music team was invited to give some performance.Many of the peasants in villages had never seen foreigners before,so they had great interest to see them.On the performance,so many peasants were standing around the music team that some of them even nearly broke into a quarral because of the small room.They couldn't understand what the players sang but they just wanted to see what foreigners looked like. What's more interesting,just a few minutes later,many of them began to leave because they couldn't understand the music and found it was boring to just stand there.I didn't know how the rocky music team would feel,but I found the peasants a little realisic. Guys, have you met something like this?Are there some similar business festivals in your hometown?And do you have something interesting like this to share?

Well i am glad to hear about Peach flower festival in your hometown and i think it will give people a good opportunity to know more about this festival and as a source to unwind themselves as well. To be very honest i hardly see any business festivals being organized over here because most of the festivals are culture oriented.
