Chinese New Year and our Farewell To Thailand

Our last day here landed on Chinese New Year so we spent the first day of the year of the dragon in China Town.
Every imaginable kind of food, dancing dragons everywhere, and a competition between dragon teams dancing and jumping between small pedistals eight feet in the air. All this along with mobs of people made for a fascinating afternoon. We saw some men smashing peanuts with wooden hammers then rolling it into delicious candy that tastes just like the inside of a butterfinger candy bar!
Thais like to breathe menthol to ease the heat so they were passing out free strips of paper scented with menthol. Guess who the strange fellow with the paper stuck up his nose might be. No one we know for sure!
We finished up the day at a deck top restaurant over looking the river and with a view of Wat Arun. We say a
sad farewell to Asia and our wonderful kids.
Plane leaves 7 AM tomorrow.
