Annual 'Tomatina' festival in Spain

The standard uniform is an old T-shirt, old shorts and eye goggles. T-shirts with bullseyes printed on them are not recommended. Nearly 140 tons of tomatoes are trucked in from around the countryside and the argy-bargy begins with the firing of a rocket. An hour later the end of the festival is announced with the firing of another rocket and the clean up of the tomato-slimed streets begin.

    Hello. My name is Sachiko Hatta. I am currently working on my dissertation about satisfaction at La tomatina at University of Brighton in the UK.
    I am looking for people who have attended the festival and are willing to complete my questionnaire. If you are happy to do it, please email me to sh231@uni.brighton.ac.uk with your email address. The collected data will be used solely for my project and email address will only be used for sending questionnaire.
    I would appreciate in advance.

    Sachiko
