It was a very fine evening that thousands of people gathered at one place. The crowed sticked into the one place to another around the Natwatrat bridge crossing over the Mae Ping River. It was the time that Mae Nann ping was crying into loud as Loy kathoy had polluted her. I wondered it was the one of the most amazing festival, which maintained the traditon and custom at the mean time probably the worst time for environment.  No answers for that curiousity soon enough i joined the crowded to find out the wonder of my mind. Oh.. yeah. i fond it.. but did not know what it was. What a furstrating answer. However i did not got any wasted of my time and apprently i loved the madness of the light festival chaning over time and the trend of the globalization. Cool...Mate.. it was not time for thinking about ethical issues for environment, it was time to enjoy and apprecaite the crazyness and some ****. So why not!!!!! Oh yeah.. walking along the river and some bullshit madness was a very werid feeling. Nearly deaf and blind thanks to the smoke, fire cracker, fireworks. lousy and boombing, shitty and funny madness had at least one value that most of the people shared the joys. lollllllllHa..humm.. time to battle at war each side of the river throwing ****, lol. some fireworks.. here it comes.. yahoooooooo.. Oh yes..Hittttt.. Mm here he was..junking into the money from the floating flowers flowing in the river.. that kid's mom had been  a wise woman.. what a clever one..thank god i did not let it float from that spot..or did not put any coins. poor kiddddddddddddd.

Runnnnnnnn.. with your life.. don't look back, shitt is coming.. f..k.. it hit me!!..but ears were couldn't hurt anymore and eyes turned into darkess..Goooo... Home.. still heard the nosie and could see the madness.. Still the sky was amazyingly beautiful with flying lantan.. mmmmmmmmm..prayed that it wouldn't landed at my shitty garden.. Prayers answered coz did not see any Burned  one but tried to fly one and got burned before it took off.. noooooooooo..one more day of madness then some  rich guys had to remove the landed floating flowers at garden along the river.. time to Cleannnnnn.wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii..
