Tomorrow is father's day here in Thailand and it is a big deal! It is actually the King's birthday and everyone here loves the King. On his birthday Dad's are honored since he is the father of this country, and all week people wear yellow to demonstrate the holiday.
At school we have 2 days of ceremony and celebration. On Wednesday the Kindergarten students performed in front of the school board, their parents and all of their peers. There were two tiny MCs, dances, awards given, singing.....it was quite a production. Today was mainly for grades 1-12. In the morning there was a sort of food drive thing happening, where a bunch of monks came to collect offerings from the kids. Following that the older students had a similar ceremony with dances and performances for several hours. Some students get to present their father's with gifts on stage.
Tomorrow is actual Father's Day and we have off of school! Yeah! My friend Christina and I will be joining about a dozen other teachers for the long weekend on the nearby island of Ko Chang. I will report back next week on that mini adventure.
