Happy New Year!

This weekend Thailand is celebrating the Chinese New Year. This year is the year of the tiger apparently, although I don't know what that means. The new year, we have discovered is a significant religious day. All of the stores have burning incense, food, and drink placed right outside of their doorways for a kind of peace offering. But today the amount of food placed out was much bigger, there were huge offerings of food. We even saw people burning money, literally putting their bills into fire. CRAZY! We visited a temple today, but my camera was dead. Oops. However we have visited a lot of temples, and they are all similar. So here are some pics of some that we have visited.
