There seem to be plenty of taxis on the street, which bodes well for my being able to get out tomorrow morning.

But seriously, guys. I'm staying about a fifteen minute walk from the buildings that are currently surrounded by the military. The riot police I saw in the TIB were probably in the process of occupying the government centers while I was in there, which is probably why no one wanted to give me a city map. >.<;;; Even saw a couple of those nifty loudspeaker trucks. No tanks though.

Good lord.

That will be all.

Yeah, you're telling me! Was shitting bricks this morning 'cause my flight was delayed, but I'm out.

Only problem now is that I fly back in again in about four days. Cross your fingers that I can reroute the flight!

Well on the plus side, this is definitely going to be a trip you won't forget! Hope you get out of Thailand okay, though!

Thanks! Made it out this morning. One of my buddies (who stayed in country) was actually interviewed on British news about the situation.

I will light incense next to your now extremely healthy plant and say a prayer for you when I get home tonight. Damn girly. If you wanted more travel badass points you should have just hopped the border in Korea.

Be smart and safe.
