So every year for three days Thailand celebrates its New Year... Anciently, part of the celebration included a ritual where they would pour water on eachother as a sign of hopefull prosperity for the year to come. It started with the King, and would trickle down to the people... Presently, it is a huge waterfight with millions of people! The streets are covered with millions of people loaded with waterguns, buckets, water bottles, and bowls of some sort of pastey substance that people would wipe all over your face... So all day, you just walk around getting into waterfights with little kids to old grandpas. It was hilarious. They didn't know what hit them when Rhett and I would come at them with a huge water balloon. Hardly anybody knew what they were. They were party balloons filled with water, so they were to heavy to throw, cause we would have just knocked everybody out. So we would pinch the balloon and then kind of snap our wrists and send heaps of water flying through the air... Haha. People would be scared, then laugh, then run. It was awesome. We had the time of our lives!... In between our wars, we stopped for a lunch of Pad Thai and Fried Rice and sodas, costing about $2.50 each...and we each got an hour authentic Thai Massage. Man, those women might as well be WWF champions by how they were folding and bending our bodies! But oh it felt good. An hour massage costs about $6US. Haha! I seriously used to dream of this stuff when I was a kid...
Tons of people everywhere
Yeah.... I donno.... They're Asians....
The two behind me just douched my face....
Whole families come out to play
You got no choice but to take it...
Haha...Look at this Old Man!

No way! That is the coolest thing I have ever heard; a country-wide water fight. And looking at the women in those pictures...I guess no on the jewels from head to toe, eh? Maybe that's just at night. And Austin, I don't know you, I feel like I do, but nice haircut. And Rhett you look nice in paste. It's a good color on you.
Holy Crap that is the coolest thing that i have ever seen. I think that we should start that tradition when you guys get back! That would be awesome. We need cooler traditions here, all we do is find some colored eggs that came out of a chicken butt.
