Spent the day catching up on ISU work. Did manage several walks and discovered another news stand that carries English language newspapers. Had dinner at my favorite restaurant. A group from ISU is here this week. Their flight was delayed and so arrived a day late.
One thing I noticed in my walks is that there seems to be a bit more security around the neighborhood. I wonder if it is because of all the Red Shirt demonstrations last spring.

How is the political situation there now?

Political situation is a bit rocky, but sorta calm. There is a demonstration on Sunday. From what I read the Thai people are tired of all the demonstrations. There will be an election this year.

How many red shirts did you pack?

No red shirts, BUT I met two nurses who got their degrees at the University of Michigan
