Tomorrow is Songkran

Tomorrow is Songkran, the Thai new year, and it is hence time to get wet; also when being on land. It is also known as water splashing festival, which comes in quite handy these days when the temperature is much too high. I will go diving in the morning, but some of my colleagues plan to start drinking around 9 in the morning, so it will be a big party day, I guess. The last few days, most shops suddenly have started selling water guns. Not just the tiny ones, but also humongous guns which can have 4-5 liters of water inside. The custom is to use ice water, and when being very very warm it is actually not THAT funny to be hit - tried it today :-). I heard that some dive schools mount a ice water tank to a dive tank, and using those 200 bars of air to squirt the ice water seems like very nasty :-). I hope not to meet one of those :-). Well, we will see tomorrow, I guess. Try this picture link to see a cool photo of the Songkran festival
