9am, Saturday, 17 December
The December holiday season is a universal exercise in commerce. Two days after the King's Birthday holiday, the King's pictures came down and the "Christmas" lights came up.... Decorating hotels, markets, etc. In a country that is 95% Buddhist and does not celebrate the birth of Christ, the opportunity to promote commercial interests is not missed. Shopping malls and markets are festive with sales. People talk about gifts and parties. Of course some of this is for New Years Day, but the New Year does not start until February in most asian cultures...a lunar calendar.
Let Festivus Reign!!
