Lock Down

Chulalongkorn University was locked down at 8:00 p.m. tonight. All gates are closed, we are inside. There are protests going on in Bangkok. The Red Shirts are protesting. They support Thaksin who was overthrown in 2006 and believe the current government is not legal. The Yellow Shirts support the current government. Some say the Red shirts support the rural people and the yellow shirts support the wealthy.

We leave to Nepal tomorrow. We hope we can get to the airport as some roads may be blocked. We are leaving extra early to find a way there. . .

If you want to read more about it go to www. bangkoknews.com or look on world news on any of your favorite websites.

    Enjoying reading your blog and hoping the lock down didn't last too long and that you made it to Nepal safely. Only a couple more weeks until you see Harry!!!
