STRANGE BUT TRUE! 29
Big fish festival
Since 1934 the Argungu Fishing
Festival has welcomed an influx
of fishermen to the Matan Fada
River in the Nigerian state of
Kebbi. Brandishing nets and
gourds, the person who catches
the biggest fish within an hour
wins money and a bus!
Remarkable radishes
The Night of the Radishes
on December 23 sees Oaxaca
City in Mexico grind to a halt.
A radish-carving competition
is held, with the fruits—
or rather, vegetables—of
participants’ labor shown
to an audience of thousands.
