Now that was a surprise! Even a parachute!

Bang Fai (Rocket) Festival in Isan - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_Festival

Try getting that one past the Health & Safety regulations in the UK...
This is the way

Just in case they do, you should practise this song for the occasion.

Of course they do (for a fee). When I lived in Isaan I had one built. It consisted of a house drainpipe (8 foot long) full of powder and strapped to a giant length of bamboo. I was not allowed to ignite it though (thank God). First prize was 10,000 bht which IMO I won but somehow the headman's rocket took the prize despite only reaching about half the distance mine did. I wonder why? :roll:

It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.
