I had the opportunity to attend a Puppet Theatre show along with another exchange student from Madison named Paul. The MBA program from UW-Madison took a trip to Bangkok and they invited us to join them for dinner and the traditional thai puppet show. It was really interesting because the people who coordinated the event was the Thai UW-Alumni. It was a lot of fun because Thai's who attended Madison 40 years ago still knew the "Varsity" song and "Bright Shining Light of the Moon" song commonly played at badger football games! They for sure still had some badger spirit! The puppet show was the tale of the birth of Ganesha, where the father accidently cut off his son's head but revived him by giving him an elephant head. (very short version of the play). It was very fascinating to watch the performers move with such delicacy with the puppets. I really enjoyed the show!
