Street Entertainment

We sat and drank coffee first thing this morning in the quaint hotel garden. Afterwards we walked through a very quiet Lampang. People seem to have disappeared following last night's heaving street festival.

We walked to a famous wat, we saw a colourful Chinese temple or 2 ... and printed our Myanmar visas. A lady on a bike helped us with directions to one temple. She was very sweet and very tiny compared to her big bicyle.

It was a pretty lazy afternoon. We had walked a long way in the morning so rested in the shade. At about 3 o'clock the street festival began its second day. We enjoyed a few snacks and a walk around exploring. Darryl stocked up on warm clothes for our future visit to Japan. We watched a band and a magician on stage but the best singer was to follow. His name was Opor and he had been on The Voice Thailand. He was a great singer and many of the locals wanted their photos with him. During his set an older gentlemen passed him gifts from the plastic bag he was holding. He also received oranges from a lady in the crowd. We are not exactly sure why, but he seemed pleased and they did too.

The bar next door to our hotel had a band that started late and played late into the night. A nice end to a good day.
