Plenty of ice!
Might be better as just a shot. As a cocktail might want to add some sort of juice to it.

Mix to taste!
Invented by my good friend Shindo.
If you've been following closely you may be wondering what I'm still doing in the country. We decided on postponing our trip until Thailand's New Year Songkran.
Here is a quick break down of lessons learned/reasons on the decision:
1) New Years Eve celebrations are a Eurocentric celebration.
I always thought everyone would be partying it up with a big countdown. Not the case! In some places the Lunar New Year is where it's at or they have their own traditions that are wildly more popular than counting down to the New Year.
2) Language Barrier.
Money was tight with other budgets so we tried to do this without a professional with a plan to first send it out in English then follow up with a letter in their language translated by a friend or friend of friend.
3) Friends.
While many people asked around or offered help the other half of the people didn't even return messages!
Video below is an example of the type of programing you can watch in Japan during New Year's on the show I linked above.
