A public holiday and a chance to relax.
It must be said that Thailand is in such a state right now.
The political stand-off goes on between the yellows and the reds. Job losses are starting to filter through as it takes its toll on the economy. 5,000 losses at Thai Air and 30,000 in the motor manufacturing sector, and that's only what I am aware of. Multiple countries, like Japan, are pulling out and no sense can be had form the Thais, who seem so different in how they think from the rest of the world. T'would appear greed and deeply ingrained corruption rule the land and the as one party cannot accept the other they would rather burn the country than allow the other to claim victory. Madness, and yet it can be found at every level of Thai society as all Westerners here now and have to deal with on a daily basis.
China is getting mighty aggressive in the South China Sea, setting up oil rigs off the Vietnamese coast and mutiple ramming incidents with just about every nation is ASEAN. Wankers.
School is great but really hard work 50+ kids in a class and so tiring. So far I am keeping up with it and enjoy the laughs with the kids and my new assistant, Port, is a great guy.
Trying to play games in my spare minutes but have trouble getting into them right now.
Listening to The Who a lot, and enjoying Game of Thrones now that Vikings has ended.
