Chiang Mai - About town

These photos are pretty random.
Surrounding the old city is what could be described as a poor-man's moat, but it's actually one of the nicer places we've had to walk in Asia. The banks are adorned with tonnes of flowers, and the water itself is full of fountains that light up at night. These are especially pleasant when they cast dancing colourful shadows on the spottily excavated old city wall. The moat is unattached to the river, into which the two (of seemingly thousands) monks gaze.
Shopping is also a huge activity in Chiang Mai (probably because everything is SO cheap). The night market is the central hive of activity after the sun sets. It's mostly fake... well, anything, but there are some nice stalls too. Vee and I argued over which photo to post to show this, and we settled on the scarves.
There's no significance to the girl eating the orange - we just thought she was just cute.
