- thai festival -

since i'm having a week off (from drawing plot plans, i mean, i still have classes), i decided to go to the annual Thai Festival with Siti. it was held at Yoyogi-koen, somewhere between Shibuya and Harajuku. unfortunately it was drizzling, so the park was filled with vibrant coloured stalls AND umbrellas.

^ the entrance... ^

^ more umbrellas!! ^

^ mmm... ^

^ MMM...... ^

^ we had chicken rice and more gai (chicken), under my um-be-re-la ^

^ lovely ladies trying to hook me (yeah right) ^

^ i offered them Siti instead ^

Pear and Koi (and the other Thai students) were doing a photo booth where customers could take photos with traditional Thai costumes. we were really very tempted to "catch the bait" but... it was 2,500 yen per photo (or per person?). the guys offered a special price of 1,500, but it was still too expensive for us poor kokuhi *lols*. "if you wear our traditional costumes, you will look very pretty!" such sweet words.

"thank you but i'm already very pretty."

good lord, Siti, how could you say that?!

for a second i thought we dug our own grave(s) but it seemed that the Thai people were willing to let us go. so.... too bad!

lastly we went to the groceries. bought 2 packets of Thai curry (yellow and green) - till now, the "Yamamori Thai Curry~" song is still stuck in my head..... oh, we bought frozen mangoes and rambutans as well. wanted to buy durians too but, yup, it's almost the same price as taking a photo with Thai costumes. ;)
