The Loy Krathong Festival at the Riverfront Asiatique

By -
Asiatique is a river front area that has resteraunts and stores. They celebrate a holiday every year. The name of the holiday is Loy Krathong. This holiday is to buy/make a lotus raft made out of nature or fish food. 
You put the raft in the water with a lit candle on it. This is to forgive the water god of polluting the water. But it’s funny, your polluting the water by putting the raft in the water. It is also taking all the sadness out of you and letting it float away. They say if your candle is still lit ‘till it is out of site then you have good luck for a year. 
 

We took a boat to Asiatique and we ate at a resteraunt called “happy fish”. We had a super fun time! My favorite part was putting the raft into the water! The End!

In 2017, our family of five (3 kids ages 9, 8 and 6 at the time) embarked on a global adventure for one year. My husband and I decided to home school our children and take them on a journey of world exploration -- exposing them to various cultures, people, food, religions and everything else in between.

So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.  -- Mark Twain I had planned the first three months of our trip to Europe when we were still in the States, hitting the countries of France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Croatia.

Day 1: We arrive in New York! Wow, are we so tired. We just came off a plane flight from Denver and had to wake up at 4:30 to make the shuttle ride to the airport. It is 10:00 AM right now because of time change so we are going to get some lunch because we are SO hungry (and tired).  So we check into our hotel room which is barely big enough to fit us and take a quick shower. Then we go exploring! We walk to a restaurant that my mom had planned before, which happened to be about 45 minutes away, but New York is fun to explore so we of course just walk.  My mom told us along the walk that we were going to this restaurant called “Stardust.” So apparently, people that are good actors and singers that wanted to get a job on Broadway come to this place to be waiters. They sing songs, they also have lots of entertainment, and awesome milkshakes. We ordered and then watched all the waiters sing. It was incredible! They even had confetti! The down side, we had to wait for abou...
