Cultural Night- Thailand


Cultural Night: Thailand

Date: 2/4/18

Food: Leftover's from Josh's Major Promotion from Phada's in Misawa.  We had fried rice, sweet and sour beef, and pad thai.  I made some mango sticky rice http://allrecipes.com/recipe/150313/thai-sweet-sticky-rice-with-mango-khao-neeo-mamuang/

Music:  My favorite part of the night.  I found a YouTube channel of authentic Thai music

Flag and Geography:  The kids enjoy coloring the flag of each country.  I use: http://www.crayola.com/free-coloring-pages/print/thailand-coloring-page/.  It is also fun to look at a map of the world so that we can see where the county is in relation to where we are now (Japan.)

Animals: Our google search taught us that Thailand is full of tigers, elephants, many types of primates, etc.

Language: https://www.loecsen.com/en/learn-thai

Architecture: I enjoy looking at the architecture of the country.  Having seen some areas of Japan and Korea now in Asia, I am fascinated with the shape and style of the roofs. 
I love the colors in this image and the detail of the roof.  Lots of turrets were pictures in the architecture.
Folk Tale: The Speech of Parrots http://www.uexpress.com/tell-me-a-story/2007/1/14/the-speech-of-parrots-a-folktale

Art: The art seems to be characterized by images of their gods, largely Buddist and Hindu.  The only one I am really familiar is Ganesh, the elephant God.
