Thai Festival 2008 at Union Station

If you’re in the area of Union Station you might want to drop by the Thai Festival that’s been running there through the weekend, celebrating 75 years of U.S.-Thai relations. They’ve got music, crafts, history, orchids, a kick boxing ring, and of course tons of Thai food. Admission is free, with booths and displays sprinkled around the station, and food all over the place. (Food is not free, but it’s good and spicy.) Hurry if you’re interested; this is the last day so you only have this afternoon to get there.

Thai Festival 2008 at Union Station

Roving Asian mendicant, can occasionally be seen wandering the streets of downtown Washington, muttering unintelligible gibberish to passers-by while pushing a “bag lady” shopping cart full of old blankets, American flags, soda cans, and healthy secondhand snacks from organic food shop dumpsters. Used to live in a cardboard box at 16th and K but the rent was too expensive.
