Watch out for the dragon goat!

The dance show we saw had incredible costumes, one of which was an animal that appeared to be half goat, half dragon.

Teeraphan (the owner of our guest house) took us on a bike tour of ruins in De Wiang Kum Kam, the small neighborhood we called home outside of Chiang Mai.

Several students volunteered to present alms one morning as monks from the neighborhood made their daily rounds. Alms are given in the form of offerings of food, drinks and money, and give merit to those who make the offering for the good health and good fortune of their family.
