This is Lovely
Well, as some of you know, I'm playing the American expat in Bangkok for the year. Currently we're a little tumultuous over here. Today half a dozen tanks rolled down the street next to my apartment building. I heard rumbling and looked at and wowser! tanks are driving right alongside the taxis.
I decided to do as the Thais do and go out for dinner and a movie at the absurdly lavish malls here. The malls were CLOSED. Now I'm not a mall gal. The basic premise of malls closing does not offend me one bit. But here in Bangkok the malls closing is surely the first horseman of the apocalypse.
So anyway, if any of you are pray-ers a lil prayer for no violence would be appreciated. I will be just fine, being indoors and a foreigner but I'd rather Thais not get hurt either. Right now they should be celebrating one of their two major holidays and soaking each other with water guns- not staring at tanks.
