Oh Mai Mai Mai

Chiang Mai was simply wonderful. It didn't hurt that I was staying in one of the nicest places I've stayed in this year either. I did work in the morning, slept midday though the heat and went to markets and festivals at night. Grad school is going to be rough after this life.

My first day as I was walking home I had a man stop me outside an automechanic. He told me there was a large festival, and that I needed to come back that night. Though I'm unsure exactly what was happening the displays of dance, the outfits and the large baskets of flowers burned as offerings were delightful. I even got to participate writing names for prayers on a large piece of cloth. Locty & Jimmy had prayers made at their respective signs.
