Last Message 5 hours, 51 minutes ago- Darly : Good morning all. Happy Friday and long weekend for 4th of July.
- Darly : Ginger: Boun Khao Phansa is coming up on the 17th in Laos.
- Ginger : Good Morning Everyone
- Ginger : celebrating in Laos sounds good.
- Ginger : Darly: as for scaring of ghost, I might be all talk. lol.
- Darly : Ginger: Maybe we can celebrate in Laos later for my degree.
- Darly : The night to not camp out is on the night of Boun Horkhao Padapdin. That's when you're most likely to run into ghosts they said. But you're the brave one.
- Darly : Ginger: Ghost story? Don't scare people off now. Then again I've heard really scary stories from my Grand-Mama about ghosts wandering at Pee Pa Sa behind my Grandmother's backyard. So, don't build a house with pee pa sa on the other side of your wall.
- Darly : Good morning all. Tomorrow is 4th of July. Have a good and productive day at work for those of you that are not taking off early.
- Ginger : Darly: Congratulations on your degree, I'm very happy for you.
- Ginger : I heard that there was a real scary ghost story last year, the light went out for a couple of hours. I need to do some investigation.
- Ginger : Darly: I betcha if Crash would have come, you’d book your next flight. I got my tent, and camping gear.
- Darly : Lots of pics from Boun Pha Vet.
- Darly : Or else it might be fun to camp out at pee pa sar for a night.
- Darly : Ginger: Yeah, I was thinking "Nye lazy? Can't be". Enjoy your trip to the festival at Wat Lao Buddavong. Too bad I am a poor grad-student and can't afford the tickets to your neighborhood.
- Darly : Good morning all. Happy Friday and long weekend for 4th of July.

This is a beautiful picture. I did not know that the shops and businesses around the site were up and running. That is a good thing. I went to the site about a month and a half after the tragedy and it was still smoldering. I have not been back but am planning to go there within the next year. I am looking forward to seeing the memorial that is there. I remember being panicked because I have a friend who lives in PA and since there was an attack there too I called her. Thank goodness though that it was not in Philadelphia. Although I never lived there-just visited a couple of times-I still felt a hugh sense of loss and sadness for the families that lost loved ones.
Hi Khonnie, I was also there December 2000 visiting my sisters. I met up with my friends at a Thai Restaurant, one of the girls that worked near the twin towels, all she’d talk about was the horrific images that she saw from her office window, of people jumping off the building. My brother in-law works at Century 21 Department store across from ground zero, and the building was built after 9/11 and I think it didn’t take them that long to rebuild the area, it’s just that there is so much controversial with ground zero and that’s why it’s still like that. Most people that visit my sisters in NYC, all they want to go see is ground zero.
