The Grinch that Stole Loy Krathong

Just when I started to miss Tofurkey (remember that tofu turkey?) day in the US, Loy Krathong rolls around, officially kicking off the festive season. X-mas decorations have already cropped up around shopping malls, and I've been hearing carols at work since July.

I have no pics of krathongs to offer, since I have no intention of floating one myself, and didn't want to annoy the krathong seller in Asoke by snapping photos without purchasing anything. The idea is nice and all, and it's fun for kids, but I'm over it. And the only water around here is the infamously malodorous klong that certainly does not need more banana tree parts rotting in the water. Yes, it's better than styrofoam, but it's still garbage in the end. Bah, humbug.
