Movie Night in Pai
Location: Pai, Thailand
Local Time: Tuesday, April 4, 2006 - 4:34pm
Well, movie night last night was a success. We gathered some junkfood, got a few people together, rented a room at the private theatre and watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind which some people had not seen before, and some people wanted to see again. In the end it was Seth (Canadian), Zoe (Australian), Frannie (American), Veetska (Dutch) and Jo (British). Good times were had and junk food was consumed. Oh, and I learned we are deprived in Canada. Tim Tams are good junk food. Seem to be quite popular in Australia if I go by Zoe's reaction on finding them in the market.
Finished off Daughter of China in the morning and then went to yoga class. After yoga, Seth, Jo and I rode out to the waterfalls again and slid down the rocks. It was lovely, and there was lots of sunshine. I think I'm a little burned, which should be a pile of laughs for a couple of days.
We wandered around on the bikes for a couple hours, now we are taking a break in Pai before going out to a wat (Buddhist temple) where there is a view of Pai. We are sort of timing it for sunset so we might get some slightly more interesting photos.
When we arrived back in Pai, we found a parade going down 'main' street. As there are two streets and this is the one with the traffic light, I think of it as main. The parade, with music, kids dressed up in eleborate costumes and lots of people looking on, is to celebrate the initiation of some new monks. At least, that is what I was told.
I'm planning to go off and sample the blueberry cheese cake at the bakery. Life is hard.
