4 day weekend.
It is also Easter and I have several options.
1. Bow to the local custom and get drenched by water guns, soda syphons, buckets: anything goes. All in exchange for chocolate or painted eggs, pocket money, or several shots of booze.
2. Bow to the local custom and stink from the cheapest cologne. Also in exchange for the above.
3. Escape to family in the countryside and lay low, because even the kids behave like adults and all they want are presents.

@jellycrystals Hungary. It is a tradition also in Slovakia and Czechia, probably elsewhere in the neighbouring countries, too.
Gents getting eggs and ladies getting water (as flowers are watered) or perfume (to smell like a flower) is a fertility ritual.
Swapping perfume to cologne is trolling really; I'd consider them chemical weapons as their smell work as extremely effective insect repellent.

@yourfutureex Always learning... I just dyed all the eggs for eierpecken, an Austrian tradition, despite beinga an Australian living in Bangkok!
