Songkran

I am now In Surin and settling in and getting organized. We have just finished the Songkran holiday. This equates to a 3-day nation wide water throwing festival. Sanook mak mak, (Fun very much). I had a blast and very therapeutic. It Is more than just a water fight though, It is a Buddhist holy festival, where Buddha statues are sprinkled with water and washed, as well as fathers and mothers are washed by family members to show their appreciation and respect. The bad luck Is washed away and blessings are bestowed.
I am now organizing my photographs and learning 2 new cameras.
Well back to work.
