another new year to celebrate (Songkran edition)


An amazing day was had with friends, good food, good music and water guns as we celebrated the Thai new year. Since we couldn't travel all the way to Thailand, we joined in on the party on this side of the pond with the help of Khao San Road (still one of my favourite Thai restaurants). I was pleasantly surprised with the food that was available at the festival. Junk served up some fantastic pork belly skewers - $6 for 3 which is a steal when it comes to food festivals! It was also quite an experience drinking milk tea from a clear plastic bag (a first for me).


Aside from the food, the actual water fight was a blast! At first I had my reservations about squirting random strangers with a water gun, but once I got into it, I didn't really think about it anymore. I just had one goal and that was to run around and get everyone wet! This is definitely a festival that I will revisit next year and hopefully I will win the Super Soaker raffle next time around...

ice skates and champagne

 I started off the new year with a few of my closest girlfriends skating and sipping on champagne. Looking back on past new year's eves, I noticed that I have never felt the need to go to big parties in crowded places to celebrate. There's nothing I like more than a quiet and cozy night with a few good friends - must be the old soul in me!
