Obviously there's a lot going on in Bangkok right now, but I promise everyone that I'm okay. Thanks for the emails and your concern. The protesters are making a lot of noise, but they're in very specific areas. I spent a lot of time downtown this weekend and didn't see one protester or any extra police or anything. I did have to change my Friday plans from going to the royal palace and government buildings to instead seeing a few wats and shrines in a different area of the city, but that's no big deal and totally worth it to avoid any problems. Other than that, I'm just avoiding wearing any yellow or red and delaying plans to leave the country any time soon. (Though I REALLY hope to be in Cambodia for New Year's if things work out!)
So yep, everything's okay with me here. Last week we had an excellent Thanksgiving dinner at the Radisson, a wine tasting at the Marriott, good sight-seeing and a little shopping at the JJ Market. Tonight Ladky and I are going to a random pizza pub for tango lessons, and this week I'm hoping to finally start the martial arts training I keep talking about. Will let you know how it all goes!
PS - Christmas decorations are up in Bangkok!
