So, I went to Chiang Mai to see my lawyer, and while I was there, my new friend Melissa took me with her to a Buddhist festival called Loy Khratong, or, "festival of lights." I have already blogged about this, so I will not go into much detail here. Basically, there are these awesome floating lanterns-- thousands of them. Like a Disney movie. It was beautiful.
Then I went back to Bangkok. Then a few days later I went to Pattaya to visit Dana and Austin. We wound up visiting a floating market, which was really just more of a dock with a few little boat vendors tied up here and there, but the majority of the market was permanently built in. So that was kind of a let-down. I was envisioning us in our own canoe, weaving around some crazy canal or something. I guess it was still fun though. I tried to take a few good pictures, but I guess I am just not very good at this photography thing... My favorite one was of a fake rooster with the phrase "new year" in Thai written below it. I liked it because it was totally random, not like a general theme in the decor or anything...
I think it is pretty cool that my week began with floating lanterns, then ended at a floating market. And so, I will give thanks to the Lord and call this blog photo: "floating."
