From the Jakarta Post photo caption, a
description of an odd festival:
Kiss me, if you can: A Balinese girl (right) tries to
avoid a kiss from a man during the Omedan Omedan kissing festival in
South Banjar , Denpasar, Bali, on Tuesday. Balinese believe that the
festival, held every year on Bali Island, ensures the good health of
those taking part and prevents bad luck from hitting the village. During
the festival, village priests dump buckets of water over couples to
douse their passions.
Catholic priests miss out on such fun.
