These photos are from
January 2006 in Bangkok. We were preparing to move to NZ with lots
of activities along the way. Click on an image to see a larger picture
|
The first event was a house blessing.
We figured that we had been a bit down on our luck in 2005 so
blessing our house would be a good idea. |
|
Rex at the main event |
After the monks bless the house, we
provide them with food |
we had help with
preparations; here are Pa, Meow & Noo |
|
The monk puts the blessing onto the
house; that's Praparp, Usa's brother, helping ... |
... then the monk checks his work ... |
... and sprays
water onto it for the blessing |
|

to see details) |
it's a big social event; because of
school holidays there were lots of Roger's & Rex's friends
... |
... hold on, wasn't
that a nice, clean area when the monks were there? 1 hour
later it is covered with toys |
|
we had lots of
visitors ... |
Usa conducted an impromptu cooking
class ... |
... showing how to make lasagna

By happy coincidence we had lots of
old friends with us; we have been friends with these ladies
since Jakarta in 1992

meet again |
