Meet me in Saigon!

First of all, Happy Songkran Festival y'all!! For those who don't know what the occasion is, well you have to experience it yourself! It's the traditional Thai New Year, which also coincides with the New Year of many calendars of South and Southeast Asia (source: wikipedia). Just be in Bangkok or even the Thai communities aboard around this time of year, I ensure you a wet and wild experience you can hardly find it anywhere else in the world!! This year I don't feel the thrill to go out splashing water anywhere though, guess I'm getting a lil too old for that. -.- In Thailand, April 14th also observed as the National Family Day as people get a chance to head back to there hometowns to be with their family on this long holiday. On April 13-14, we pay respect to the elders in our families by gently pouring water onto their shoulders and hands and then get blessings in return. It is a beautiful tradition but my family does not celebrate it since there are only mum, bro and I in the family and we do see each other everyday. Regarding to name of the post, yes, if you were in Ho Chi Minh City and Dalat at the end of March, you probably saw me stumbling around town taking pictures of cute kids, food and flowers. I don't find Saigon much different from Bangkok but I absolutely fell in love with Dalat. Just check my pictures out if you wanna know why or see you at instagram.com/veryynayy (:
