While the other side of the world is embracing the winter season. We, in the middle of the globe is also enjoying another season of our lives. The kite season. Kite season is during this time. From the start of October when the harvesting of rice in the farm fields and until November. During this season it is windy and just the right time to fly the kites up in the air. So now, in our village, you can see now the children flying kites. Lots of them enjoying the moment and they have this contest called dog-fight. I don't know in the cities if they also flying kites by now. When we were kids, this is your favorite hang out. We go to the fields and we fly our kites made from newspapers or plastics. Have you tried flying kites when you were still young? photo is mine

it looks fun... to be honest, I've never fly a kite before... I live in the city, and flying kites aren't really suitable for the place. There were times when I was little and I was in the province, there were kids playing kites, though I never joined cause I was a bit shy and insecure haha so yeah, I've never fly a kite...
