On our first trip to Thailand we noticed, between one Thai pad and another, that something strange was happening. And we are not talking about the alcohol bucket, well, they are also rarotes, but this we will tell you on another occasion!

Outside each house and each business there are some little houses super cute where every morning they stand Offerings of flowers, food, drinks, cigarettes, desserts… It's the “spirit houses”.

At first we thought they were little houses for smurfs or dwarfs, but as soon as we stopped foolishness and put the brain into operation we concluded that they could be a kind of "altars" in honor of the ancestors. But it's not exactly like this: you are houses are for the spirits who previously lived in that home or business, a kind of "gift" to be at peace with them. Come on, to keep them happy and not make life impossible for having taken their place!

There are bright colors, wood, cement, mirrors ... for all tastes, and the truth is that they are very beautiful.

Here I leave it, in 147 years, when we are spirits, our future roommate has to know that he will have to leave us every morning coca cola (better vanilla), nutella sandwiches (nocilla no!) And a ham sandwich and cheese (we also have a bikini), if we do not turn off the TV just before the goal actions and the expulsions of GH, we will consume all the hot water and you will have to shower with cold water, we will change the sugar for salt, we will finish the mobile internet megabytes, we will modify the names of the computer files, we will shout with your voice the name of your ex when you are with your girlfriend, we will put glue on the toothpaste and we will remove the toilet paper in the moments of more need.

Amen
