Visited Bangkok last year, and was able to take part in this incredible festival - a yearly festival in Bangkok that celebrates life.
There was a rock show, tons of kids and everyone setting off candle floats into the Chao Phraya river as a symbolic offering of hope. And a group of even more adventurous send off Chinese lanterns into the sky.
This is a video clip is of Chinese lanterns floating in the sky right next to the Rama 8 bridge. Absolutely spectacular!
Wishing all friends in Bangkok are safe these days.
The background music is a track by Dirt Star, with guitar by Floaty.

The idea upload an 8 second video every day. Like 8 second video haikus.
After a month, take the collection of videos, and turn it into something new
Just saw a report that listed Shenzhen as the second largest metropolis in China after Shanghai. Shenzhen is incredible, such a huge growing city.
And at the same time, you can very easily step into the traditional rural world in Shenzhen too.
There's a full-on rustic village in the mountains right close by to Shenzhen, and we saw these little goats there. Its in a mountain village 马峦山. There's a bunch of great little restaurants there too that grow their own chickens and goats. Its in a part of Shenzhen that wasn't open to development up until quite recently. Great mountain biking trails around there too.
And the background music is also a Dirt Star composition I did for an indie film project - yes, that one.

I'm an indie musician based in the south of China.
I mix a number of genres of music, with electro beats, rock guitars and lots of samples
I sing in English and Mandarin
I've released two albums independently: In 2005 he released “The Score”, an all-Mandarin album. And in 2008 Dirt Star released a new album, primarily in English called “On the street”.
I also collaborate with a lot of cool people, and I'm always looking to work on new projects.
