International Pillow Fight Day was celebrated worldwide on April 2nd in 115 cities in 39 countries. Volunteers organized the event through social networking sites.
Thousands of people from New York to Hong Kong celebrated the day, which started out in 2008. A pillow fight day is a social phenomenon of flash mobbing and all the promotion is always internet based. More cities are getting used to this fun flash mobbing.
The rules were quite clear. No body should be injured and it should be a pleasant pillow fight. Thus soft pillows were to be used, no body holding a camera or wearing glasses should be hit with the pillow.
Taipei, the capital of Taiwan participated in the pillow fight too but their pillows remembered the people in Japan as the pillows they used had 'Pray For Japan' printed on them. These pillows were sold to raise money to help in the recent tsunami.
