Mammogram Wedding Cake Toppers

THAI FOOD (1)

On Monday tired weekend (yoga, Halloween) and work the plan I had to rest. But after a half hour of yoga with Eve and Rafal gained vigor and again we have come to the conclusion that you need to move tired stretch body and see how the Thai version of our wreaths. We went by bus to the nearby Pak Kret taught at each experience the world of Thai chances of finding a place to park are minimal and the state of a traffic jam of course guaranteed. Loi Krathong, as it is called the feast, is celebrated at the full moon 12 lunar month (November) and although it is not an official holiday panstwoym najbaradziej is one of the world-known Thai. Over the rivers and reservoirs wala crowds to let go a wreath on the water, or rather small round raft made of banana tree and decorated with flowers, banana leaves, candles and kadzidelkami (some even put a small tratewek to the money, then the children who fishes out of the river).



After tajksu "Loi" means a swim, float and "kratong" is the name of your own that is what the "garland" of the banana tree. You can also meet the fish to the delight of wreaths made from bread and not to the delight of fish taken from steropianu. Some wreaths are real works of art, have a diameter of even the underground and resembles a bird, or pyramid. The roots of this festival dates back to India, where Hindu Deepavali festival worship Gangesowi. There is nothing strange in Thailand, with its location was the subject inevitably influences Indian culture (eg, Buddhism, medicine). Officially, the festival has been confirmed as the 1863 years of Buddhist feast, a candle, is lit in honor of the Buddha and the act of releasing the garland is to symbolize that relieving himself of all bad habits, anger, because I start a new better life. Some reach into the tratewek their hair or nails truncated as a symbol odrzucnioa what is wrong in us.



Most Thais, however, asking why they go let the wreaths you will hear the answer to doing this as a gesture of respect for the water and apologies for the waste or pollution. We all also believe the release garland brings happiness and should this act terminate the request. The way a wreath on the water rises is a divination or wish will come true. The festival is also an element of romantic young couples try to releasing the wreaths read the future of their relationship.


Additional attractions are the Loi Krathong miss the election ("Queen of Noppamas" King Loethai Noppamas wife (14 years old, kingdom Sukhotai), according to legend was the first to let go of a wreath ....), Fireworks and various types of performances. Especially I recommend to watch the celebrations in Loi Krathong Ayuthaii, Sukhothai and Chinag Mai. In the latter city, this festival is called Yi Peng naazwe and wreaths next to the releasing of water przyjol August habit of releasing the sky lanterns "Khom fai, hundreds of whom hover in powierzu form the amazing show ... ... we wreaths this year, not let, but the next day I rushed fairies and ... .. I'll be rich, healthy, love life awaits me, but .... Tajandii only.
