Happy New Year!

Happy Thai New Year, one and all. It’s the 13th of April, Songkran day. Folks back home pretty much have celebrated Songkran festival since Monday. Pretty much what we do getting blessed by our elders, bathing the buddha images at home, and for some people, going to the temple, we have a water fight. A country wide, one week long water fight.
