Ceremony in Temple

We went to the Burmese Temple in Offenbach on Sunday.
We were there to witness the son of husband's buddy in becoming a monk.
He will be staying in the temple for a week, to learn more on Buddhism.
It's a grand event for Myanmar. One will have to be a monk for twice in a lifetime. Once during kid and one when turns to adult.
Guess you can see from the pic who is the one going for the monkhood.


A series of picture taken with friends going for monkhood too.



Hubby and friends having a little chat with one of the monk in his room.
Little Jaivyn and I were in there too. But can't understand wat they were talking.

Myanmar New Year 08

Happy New Year to all Myanmese !
13th April was the New Year for Myanmar. (more commonly known as Water Festival)
In Germany is unlike in Myanmar or Thailand where they play with water so vigorously.
They still play with water, but in a more orderly manner.
Festival was held on Saturday, eve of New Year.
There were concerts and were some food stalls selling Myanmar cuisine.
Whole event lasted till 9.oopm, closing with Lucky Draw.
Guess we were just not lucky enough to win a gift.

R'ber this girl, Jasmine. Jaivyn was so dear to her. She was carrying Jaivyn the whole day, giving me a good opportunity for Pause.

A family pic finally, but still not so perfect cos Papa's head was chop off.
