The Weekend in Pictures part II

Flowers for the gods: Us. It's Wai Kru, a Buddhist holiday that give praise to teachers. The kids, otherwise indifferent to teachers any other day, were laying these flowers at our feet and kneeling with a strange reverence that made me slightly uncomfortable. The students made all of these flower arrangements so, I found that really nice that they put so much thought in the occasion.


Outside the strange Dutch (or German?) restaurant Bann Nam Kieng Din "House beside a river" is the literal translation, according to Tip. This her favorite restaurant. For someone to get to know her, they have to get to know this restaurant. It was an especially confusing experience to say the least. There's a windmill outside, but the waiting staff is wearing Bavarian inspired costumes. Milk maids and lederhosen. Inside there are ponds with ducks, and small bunny islands. . .


The Milkmaids hanging out.




Tip and her best friend Git deciding what to order. All of the seating of this restaurant is outside.
In the event of rain, there's giant umbrellas for each table.


Bunny Island!
