It is sad to hear the news out of Bangkok. And surreal because Eddie, Lynn, Mark Thorpe and I were all there just two months ago and it was calm.

Mark Thorpe (who visited us last week AND saw us in Thailand in February) forwarded this note from he and Ed's friend who lives and teaches there.

The international news has been very sensationalized in terms of how much of the city was affected. I read an article in the Wall Street Journal that said “most of Bangkok looks like a war zone.” My guess is less than 10% of the city was actually effected at all. The issues are serious and there were some really scary situations. But at the moment things are back to normal.
