Wat

Big Temple

I rented a bicycle today and road at least 20 miles down to the Flower Festival: Royal Flora 2006. It was pretty impressive. Definetly damn hot, but very beautiful. I got lost on the way back and it took me 2 hours and about 6 stops to ask where the hell i was. No one outside the city speaks English so it was a little difficult. The bike ride was nice but the people here cannot drive. My life was almost ended several times by speeding scotters, vans, trucks, and sangthew's. Worth the trip though. Before the festival I went to see my first Wat upclose. The Wat is the Buddist religous temple. You can't spit without hitting one here in Chiang Mai. They are impressive, and a little odd, but beautiful.
