bye bye bangkok!

April 13th, 2009 (03:07 am)

We're in Taiwan, waiting for our flight home.

I was a little anxious this morning--the protests in Bangkok heated up overnight, and they had shut down the train station and a bunch of roads, but not the one to the airport. We left the hotel early and got there without any problems, but there were a bunch of police and troops lining the road near the airport, anticipating trouble.

I didn't really relax until we were in the air.

Just as the plane took off, I heard Malida whisper, "bye-bye Bangkok--I see you again."

It was almost like you all were the Beatles leaving Manila! Scary stuff going on.

Is that at the Bankgok Airport? It's pretty cool.

I saw the headlines about Thailand over the weekend and was a little concerned. Glad to hear you're both ok!
