Issan Pictures

So here are a few random shots from the trip. You can check out the whole album at my photobucket account: http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/jenspearie/

All in all it was a lovely trip sans the peeping tom in the national park. To make a long story short, one of the national park workers was watching Chan while she was taking a shower. What a scuzzball.

I love the way the fishermen cast out their nets. Otto said that the goal is to make it a perfect circle because that is the optimal way to catch fish.
The weird scarecrows we saw everywhere. Apparently there are certain ghosts when divorced women die and they come back and try to kill the available men (very sexist yes?) and so the people make their scarecrows to prevent the ghosts from entering their houses.

Bet you never knew that Chan was so strong!
