Street show

The periscopes were quite useful for the little ones to enjoy the street show without suffering living in a world of tall people.
A street show is not a real street show without a clown !!!

Puppet show: Behind the scene

 

Puppet show

We went on Sunday to see a Thai muppet show. Not for kids in fact... we were the only ones with children.
For what we could tell this 4 1/2 show was about king and war (our thai is very limited)
 
The final scene was the fight on elephant backs !!! The kids loved it. Baptiste started to laugh, everybody looked surprised by this sound and then smile when the realized it was a little one.
Look how many people are taking care of the elephant puppets: 6 persons !!!Posted by Picasa

Loy Krathong at school

We also celebrated Loy Krathong at school. Kids wore traditional clothes and prepared their own krathong: a slice of banana trunk for the base surrounded by flowers, candles and banana leaves.

The important moment: the floating of the krathong.

Maelle's first krathong:
And for those who want to know more: a little official video:

More Loy Krathong

Posted by PicasaLoy means float
Khratong is the name of this little "boat" made out of banana leaves and decorated with all type of flowers.
This festival is one of the most important ones in Thailand.
It is way to apologize to the river for using its water and spoiling it.
The floating Khratong pushed away from the river bank is supposed to take away all our mistakes and bad actions to help us make a fresh start.
