A Bird Singing Contest
In Thailand, see the 5th slide here. Somehow the idea of staging a bird singing contest is fascinating. I suppose it's no more odd than a horse race. You don't (or at least the younger I didn't) think of Asians being competitive. Competing in which bird sings best fits my old preconceptions; competing in races--horse, dog, pigeon seems more Western somehow. (Of course Chinese athletes at the Olympics show my preconceptions are best forgotten.)
