Declan today

Today we helped build a drum in a Wat by banging on the new skin so it stretched. It was somewhat strange how they hung a paper mache lao airlines plane in the drum tower in place of the drum. Also, the guy who was in charge of building the drum poured some alcohol on it and I have no idea what that was for but it was definitely alcohol.

Today for lunch I ate chicken, mayo, lettuce and cucumber sandwich with a lemon shake. I've been eating mostly baguettes and fried rice. Sometimes my parents force me to eat something else, but I prefer the rice. Who ever invented sticky rice was a genius, because it tastes good and you don't have to any utensils to eat it.

While we ate lunch we watched some kids floating down the river on inner tubes, then coming up on the bank and throwing mudballs at each other. It looked like fun.
