It's Laos New Year
A time when Buddhas are washed with water at the temples
This water is sacred and it used for blessings and to wish people good luck.
Over the years, rather than splashing a small amount of water in a quiet respectful type way
now tradition is to pour buckets whooping and having heaps of fun.
It's day 1 of a week full of partying and water throwing
Luang Prabang usually runs out of water during Pi Mai, but not BeerLao!
Today I got soaked on the way to work, and on the way to our work Pi Mai party
The locals seemed to focus on my santa crocha! which everyone is finding very funny
Soggy pants all day! I need a drink
Sok Dee Pi Mai, Happy New Year
