Getting to know to a new culture is always exciting, amusing and entertaining. Do you agree?
As for me, every nation, every people is so unique. And learning more about a new country, broadens your horizon and let you realize the depth of the culture. It's a real mystery. More open you are to the world, more flexible it is towards you.
How do you like my costume? These are traditional Thai clothes.
Two years ago I visited Chiang Mai for the first time. Thanks to my Thai friend (she is an owner of the school I worked for) I could feel the authentic Thai life properly.
It was SongKran, the Thai New Year. I was staying at my Thai friends', I was doing everything the Thai people usually do during this celebration. Of course I was wearing the clothes my friend thought would suit me:)
I visited dozenz of temples. There are really so many of them in Chiang Mai. Hundreds of photos were taken that day... as usual:) I was lucky my ex-boss likes taking photos as much as I do.
I brought some sand to one of the temples. I was told that everyone who goes to a temple on SongKran should bring some sand. Because during a year there are a lot of visiters and they simply sweep it out of the temple territory.
If somebody Thai is going to read it, tell me if I am right or not.
Share a smile and keep yourself happy!
With love,
