Hello.
Today I only had to work for 4 hours!! After food in the old Tricycle as usual we walked towards the sea. There's no real beach near us but there is a stretch of sand surrounded by a park of palm and pine trees. You can still hear the city but it's beautiful and looks tropical. You can see all around the bay and because of the festival there were fireworks across the water. Just past the beach was a big square with a stage and hundreds of people dressed in white standing watching it. There was a lot of singing and then they let off loads of huge fireworks just in the middle of all these people. It wouldn't be allowed at home but it was really beautiful. As we walked home people from the festival drove up the road crammed into the back of pick ups playing drums and holding shrines. Almost every Thai person wears some white at the moment and there are firecrackers going off everywhere-its quite a party. Luckily we're at the end of a quiet cul de sac so hear nothing.
We went to some live music venues last night and had a good end of week 1 celebration-a quarter of the way through already!
Lots of love,
Jo
