Maid's day off

Maid's day off, originally uploaded by Octopuscard.

I love walking around on Sunday's, when any possible public place is taken up by the domestics, sitting down with their friends, sharing food, doing each others' hair, singing, dancing and just having fun.
I wanted to take some pictures of the steps withthe gas lights on, yesterday, but I was beaten to it by the maids.
Taken with the wonderful Canon EF135mm f/2.0 L lens.

The crowd goes wild

Officially, in Thailand gambling is only allowed at Thai boxing stadiums. Like a lot of Asians, the Thais like a flutter, and this can lead to some very animated scenes at the boxing stadiums. Not a great phot, but it catches some of the excitement of the crowd, and some very bored looking people as well!
