The Queen's Hotel where we stayed the night.
There was a photographer in the lobby taking wedding pictures for a wedding that was to happen later that morning. Interestingly, weddings are not performed in the Buddhist Temples. Instead they are held in hotels or reception halls. We saw three weddings this day. Also of note, the prospective bride and groom confer with astrological charts to determine the best day to get married. I wonder if the divorced rate in lower because of that?

The little boys are a part of a wedding party.
The one on the right doesn't look like he's too excited about the festivities. |

| Don't the boys have the coolest shoes? |
