...rocks my socks off! So I am in the north currently and for new years Steph and i met up with my camp friend Doug and his girlfriend Kira and some other PCVs. We had dinner and a few drinks by the river. People all over the city were letting off these big plasters bags with a candle type thing in the bottom that would float up in the sky like a small hot air ballon. So the sky was fully of these glowing specks which was obviously beautiful.
After a few drinks we headed to one of the city gates where there were hundreds of hanging yellow lights and we watched fire works from there and did our own countdown. It was a bit chaotic, in a good way, and everywhere you looked ther was something fun to see. A much more unique new years than any other. I made doug join me in a round of "bum and a fish" because thats just what you have to do with other manito-wishers...right (camp song...i know we are dorks...whatever).
Steph and i took many great pics but we dont have our computer/camera cord to put them up right now, but they will come. Today we went up to the temple Doi Suthep on the mountain. It was very beautiful with tons of gold and monks all over the place. I totally dig there orange robes.
Tomorrow we are heading off on a daylong trek with bamboo rafting, hiking, hill tribe seeing, waterall visiting and elephant riding! Yahoo! Hope all is well with all my faithfull readers and everyone had a safe and fun new years!
