Sakon City Chinese New Year Celebration Finale



Not as packed as on the opening day, 
but still a very respectable crowd.
They were playing American music when I arrived
Reminiscent of the swing band era

Was a bit windy, lamps were swinging
I was a bit concerned (unnecessarily)


Stopped of to see slides of "Old Sakon"
Received a few copies to add to my collection


Had some great food (shish kabob), great entertainment, chatted with friends.
The Chinese New Years celebrations  are always on the top of my list of things to do in Sakon Nakhon.

More video clips of the Suphan Buri fireworks disaster 

.

Posted a previous video of a similar incident, earlier this month
That incident  in Hua Hin, was without injuries or property damage.

It's obvious that many of these 'technicians' are under-trained.
Spectators are well advised to keep a safe distance and "be aware!"
This also applies to the Bang Fai (Rocket) festival.
A few years back a spectator was decapitated by one of these rockets



The biggest shortage in today's employment market is code writers.
Code writer salaries average US$50,000 per year
Plenty of free on-line courses available

Really funny!!
