When you travel on vacation, you will find that there are crowds of people everywhere. If you want to go to the toilet at this time, you will find that you need to queue for a long time, and sometimes you may have to queue for more than half an hour to go to the toilet.

Festivals are more popular than ever and are often themed around various types of art and music.
