I'm truly happy for you and I'm happy that you love it! It's hard for me to imagine leaving my tiny little existence and experiencing with gusto the things you have experienced! Thank you so much for sharing them with us! My Aunt lived in Thailand for awhile when I was a child…she brought back some bronze flatware and gave a huge amount to my mom who doesn't like it…I have it out at my shop for table settings simply to make it look better… i cannot tell you the people that want to buy it and want to have things from other parts of the world like this! So glad you are experiencing "Tet"!
