Call me a heathen, but the collecting alms procession looks suspiciously like Halloween- young boys dressed in orange, collecting goodies in buckets.
Got up at dawn to watch this daily ceremony, believers (or tourists, apparently) give handfuls of sticky rice or some other treats to each young novice. Now there are people walking around trying to sell the tourists rice for this purpose, but I read a sign at a temple asking to not give alms unless you mean it, so they're trying to maintain the integrity of the ceremony at least.
