Don't know if any of you are aware of this, but there are several "mud festivals" that take place in Japan and South Korea. One of the most outrageous is the "Mud Olympics" in Japan. They run, ride bikes, and even dance, in the mud! I've got a tape of highlights of it, from Japanese TV. Some segments actually show the pretty presenters of TV shows wallowing in the mud.
So let's all go to Japan!

Sounds good. If you want to send me a picture, I'll post it for you.

I lived in Japan for a couple of years but never came across mud festivals there. However on a trip to Taiwan and did go to some mud Olympics which were organised by a US radio station and an English pun in Taipai. The events were things along the line of mud tug of war, mud racing etc the participants were a mixture of locals and foreigners and about 50% male/ female.

Hi Roger

And thanks...any pics anywhere?

It was a good few years ago, 1991 I think. I used to have some polaroids but I think these got thrown away.

Ah, a picture has turned up!

Sorry it has taken a while to post it.

There's a problem; I can't pull it up! Could you check on the photo, please?
