the beggining of the end pt 1 song kran

wow, so its been quite a while, since ive posted hasnt it???
sorry bout that!
its just that things have gotten pretty hectick, and in the last month or so ive been in korat, bangkok, kohn kaen, koh chang, chanta buri, chonburi, ban bueng, and udon thani!!


where to begin, alright, ill jump off from songkran!
songkran, is the biggest festival in thailand, and it takes place in april, one of the hottest monthes in thailand!
what is songkran, to put it very blunt, and mind numbingly simple, all you do is throw water at anyone, and everyone, and if you see any poosaus(its like the thai word for babes, you know foxes-shaa-wing) you rub white powder on thier faces(why, honestly? beats me.)
basically its the thai new year, and the water is like washing away the old year, anyways, thats my understanding of it, so i was going to korat andi i was gonna chill with my friends thier for a few days, then head back for the last few days of the festivalwith my host family, but some complications came up, and well... i found myself with out a place to stay, so i called around, and found that a few friends of mine were in bangkokfor a few days, and had a couch i could crash on, so i hopped on a bus and headed west to meet up with my friends!

so once i got there, dropped off my bags and everything, we went out to kao sarn road(backpacker haven) and pretty much for the next 2 days, bought supersoakers, and walked the streets of bangkok getting in water and baby powder fights with anyone we met!!
songkran is probably the greatest holiday on earth, anyone up for celebrating once i get back???

so after 2 days there i hopped back on the bus and went back to kk to meet up with my host family, as soon as i got there, me, 3 of my cousins and my host bro piled into the back of a pickup truck carrieng 2 garbage buckets ful of water and ice(makes it colder, duh)
and proceded to drive up and down the mainstreet of khon kaen throwing water from our buckets at paserbys motorcycle drivers ans other people in the backs of other pickups!
that night i went to a street concert with my host bro and cousins
this street was PACKED and it had stages all down the street with a plethora of bands playing, form hiphop, to metal, to screamo, to traditional! Everything and anything music wise was playing!
after we got home the cousins and i stayed up playing video games for a while(i havent played video games in ages!!) then we all crashed, and well to make a long story short, we did it all over again to mmoro!!
and that ladies and gentlemen is SONG KRAN!!!


again im very sorry i havent posted, but as you can see the title is the beggining of the end pt 1
so each night from here on out ill try to write about a major event that has happened!
these are gonna be a little short, but hey its what i got...

well 12 days left in thailand
see you tommoro!
