Thai Believe in the Art Festival

Last week of January there was a student event called "Art Street" at the university I am teaching. Since in Thai context ( and I think it also appear in many Asian context) that Thai art and spiritual belief have been long time co-existed since spirits are believed as "teacher" giving power in the form of knowledge in art field ( also in different field that related to tradional Thai art.) This paper spirit house founded close to stair case at my office, thought it was used during the festival. It's kind of intersting to me with the mixed emotion.

An Inconvennient Truth-Global Warning

Just have chance to visit the website made for the movie "an inconvenient truth" after had been watched for months. Even the content of the movie is bloody serious, the first thought after tleaving the theatre is that it's not so hopeless saving our planet. Let's start doing something we, as individual, are able to.
From this thought, I think Al Gore and his partners made the right decision making this movie to communicate with audiences around the world, it has wider impact and hit the right target with the same limited resource than he alone travelling around the globe telling our inconvenient truth.
After I do change my "bad" habits to save out planet, to help spreading this inconvenient truth through whatever media I can is what I am able to do now. Let's see what we can do.
