For the King’s birthday, I went to Arunotai or Nong Ook as the Burmese call it, located about 3 hours North of Chiang Mai, past Chiang Dao. We went for the Kachin Festival, and you can click here for my pictures.

Afterwards we went to the Schools of Hope, a border town school for orphans and disadvantaged children. And were treated to many things but one of them was this sword dance video which you can hopefully see here.

I hope to teach at a school like that some day. Until then, I’ll dance, the dance…
