Joe Louis rescues a teddy bear
See what other blogs are saying about festival prizes at Inle Lake:
“Celebrations continue inside the monastery where saccharine cakes are laid out and garlands of flowers cloud the air with jasmine. We sit cross-legged amongst the crowds on the floor as confetti showers down on offerings brought in from the lake. We are anomalous westerners crashing a truly local party. Some revelers break off and mill around busy market stalls selling snacks, drinks and cheap plastic toys.”
