Songkran is only the biggest water fight in the world. I would love to have pictures but I refuse to have a waterlogged camera in the process. You absolutely cannot walk down any street without getting buckets and buckets and buckets and oh yeah buckets of water dumped over your head, back, butt and legs. If you escape any one of the million buckets of water being launched at your face close range, then you get soaked by the backup hoses. OK many of you may think that the kids must have the best time ever. Well to tell you the truth its the adults that go the extra mile. Nobody gets spared. If your in a car, you get water flung at you. If your in the taxi's here which have open backs, you get water flung at you. If you walk, ride a bike or run, you are definitely getting water flung at you. The worst part about Songkran is the people on the scooters or motorcycles. Its super dangerous if your riding on one of these water magnets. If you want to get an idea of what Songkran is, just check out YouTube and you will see. I think Kete and I are the only ones not walking around with a water gun.
Well today we had our own little Songkran at the orphanage. These kids are ruthless. They are really good at soaking the crap out of everyone. It was such an amazing time and to see the faces of all the children was the best part. Its the first time we got to see smiles on all their faces at once. Just think tomorrow is a whole new day of Songkran. I almost forgot. Happy Thai New Year.
Love is Life
Steve & Kete
