The water festival is known as Thingyan and is the Burmese new year.  By throwing water at all and sundry you draw the bad spirits out of your body and they fall on the ground and perish.  When your, now cleansed, water hits the person opposite it helps cleanse them and everybody you fell out with during the year can be your friend again.
The balloon flight was the only effective way to see the 2,300 temples in the small town of Bagan.
