I thought I'd roll on down to Pak Tai temple to take a look-see at the imitation Long March rocket foisted on a little island. [See earlier post "Bun Festival blues".]
Quelle surprise! Yes, Long March is standing, forlorn and erect in the lower section where the kids usually play football. So what about the basketball area closer to the temple? Same as ever. The big bamboo opera house has already gone up.
However, there is still the usual clutter of bamboo and twine.
Why? The local bamboo-tower builder is putting his finishing touches to the three bamboo towers. The locals are going ahead as per usual. We have, ladies and gentlemen, competing towers.
