This festival was on for the whole weekend. Friday night we went for a walk down the waterfront and boy was it busy! Apparently the festival is a policy of the government to encourage communities to get together. The streets, which tonight were pedestrianised, were lined with all sorts of vendors and Mr John was keen to sample some of the culinary delights. We had some really good wan-tons, a hot-dog that was more hot-chicken and therefore not a success.
I also spied what looked like a lovely cupcake stall and was very excited. I selected one, Mr John selected his and as I picked his up I noticed a few bugs on it (including one mosquito). So we fairly quickly put them back and walked away. Note to self, sweet icing on cupcakes and no packaging equals cupcakes with protein!
Sangchareon bar was serving beer on draught and so we called in. Kob was there and quickly ushered us into the air-conditioned front room which was a welcome relief. The waterfront is really the old town and all the buildings are close together. Add to that a street full of people walking at a snails pace and the temperature down there was pretty high. We were joined by a friend of Kob who had spent two years studying in America and who's English was therefore exceptional. It was a very entertaining evening and a very late night. There just always seems to be something going on here.
