Hope you all had a Merry Christmas. I got a remote control Helicopter for Christmas. I flew it at the tennis courts and after 5 minutes it broke. Then we got another and it didn't work. Finally, we got a different type and it works well. I really like flying it.
Recently we went to get our Visa renewed in Burma (Myanmar). On the way we stopped at an enormous cave. The locals go to see the Reclining Buddha inside, but I really liked the features. (Stalagmites and Stalactites). Some of the stalactites went all the way to the floor of the cave.
In the past the Thai's used the cave for protection and safe keeping of their possessions. This was my first cave.

Merry Christmas to you all. What i like most about Christmas is opening the presents in the morning. The best present I got was a stuffed animal, a dog.The second best was a pen with a laser,flashlight and pointer stick. I also got a mask and snorkel for swimming in the ocean What did you get for Christmas? Hope you had a good Christmas.
I went to see the Karen tribe also know as the Longneck tribe. There is a story about why they wanted long necks.
There was a snake that was magical and wanted to marry a human but the human would never love the snake, because it was a snake. So the snake transformed into a woman and she married a man. When she got pregnant she lost her magical powers so when she went to sleep she transformed back into a snake. When her husband woke and saw that she was a snake he ran away. She went back into the forest and had snake eggs but then she died. Then a hermit (man) found the eggs, they hatched but they weren't snakes, they were girls. The hermit told them about their mom. They wanted to look like her so they wore the rings around their neck to look like a snake.
