After visiting Bang Neow final twelvemonth I was prepared - water, extra batteries, tripod too retention card.
I arrived xl minutes earlier the consequence was scheduled to commencement too Jeng Ong Shrine looked beautiful against the nighttime heaven - it was resplendent inwards colours lights too dissonance - over again an intoxicating environment. It was also lovely to consider thence many people dressed inwards white, every bit wished for too I disagree alongside the 'visitor' non to exhibit honour past times wearing white.
After a spell I graduated to the framed off expanse too the burning coals - straightaway I was struck past times the fact that I was non sweltering - last twelvemonth at Bang Neow it was. The men from the Shrine too thence began to flatten too enlarge the coals.
Four smaller shrines were laid upwards at each corner too were tended to past times a fellow member of the shrine staff too and thence a fellow member of the Mah Songs. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Mah Song came from the Shrine to 'discuss' alongside the Shrine staff whether it was laid upwards - meanwhile the possessed left the shrine too waited.
Beautiful - until I realised that the the burning coal expanse was laid upwards exactly it was solely a pocket-size square, I had been used to the long runway of burning coals at Bang Neow Shrine.
The Mah Songs all of a precipitous began to come across the burning coals too run is the operative discussion here. Two steps too the run is finished - at that spot was solely i individual who genuinely walked over the coals too I applaud him for that. Logically this tin live done - peradventure I volition accept a teach adjacent year? Who produce I contact to accept a go?
After the running over the hot coals the Mah Song returned to the Shrine to live released from the Chinese Spirits too bless whatsoever of the onlookers.
Lost my white baseball game chapeau - it was non at that spot when I left the Shrine - exactly this volition hateful that I accept been released from my bad luck for this twelvemonth - give thank y'all you. I had to a greater extent than or less lovely Vegetarian Street nutrient on the agency out exactly nevertheless don't teach for Tofu much...
