Turmoil in BKK

Last few days: hot, hotter, hottest. Not only temperature (40 degrees) and humidity (98%) (the cool season has come to an end), but also political tensions here in BKK. The so called reds (socialist-ish) people (the poor ones) protest against the government and want them to resign. Just took a look at the two places where most protesters are, but right now it's quiet. Hopefully it won't give me any trouble when i fly back to Amsterdam (like what happened (about) 2 years ago (but that were the yellows (the rich and powerful elite))).
The rest of the time i explore the city, i ran into Kerem (from Turkey) again. Nice to see him again. I watch Premier League football (with Martin, from Sweden), doing the last shopping, make long strolls through town, read books in the park, watch the protests, etc. Quite amusing i must say.

Okay, see you all later, and hopefully my fellow countrymen soon again,

Jan.
