International Pillow Fight Day

何媛

Lots of places around the world have had great fun getting involved with Pillow Fight Day.  The basic idea is to get every major city in the world involved in this organised event！

The first flashmob （快闪族） apparently took place in Macys， New York， in 2003. The Oxford Dictionary describes the flashmob as an “unusual and pointless act”—basically separating it from more serious gatherings like protests and so on.  But that is the point—its not meant to mean anything serious， its all about having fun and now the world is going crazy with silent discos and pillow fights！

Some tips—dont hit people too hard with your pillows！They might be made of feathers but can still pack a punch.  It might be a difficult rule to remember once you get into the swing of it， but still an important safety rule！
