good bye snow...

first "snow" day...

Hello everyone!

I'm sure most of you have heard about the political crisis in Bangkok. Thank you everyone who wrote emails of concern. I appreciate the support from the homefront. I thought I should write a really brief post to assure everyone that I am completely safe, and Bangkok living is going on as normal.

So, on Tuesday night, I'm asleep in my room, when my phone begins to ring, and ring, and ring, and ring... I finally decide to give in to the noise and pick up, when my friend Jeff tells me to turn on CNN because the Military has taken over Bangkok. So of course, I flip out. However, in wonderful Bangkok style, even attempts to throw the PM out of office is civil, calm and non-violent... you gotta love it.

Within the hour, my phone continued to ring, with word of school being cancelled due to the situation and with concerned voices from home. Meanwhile, I'm glued to the TV. After about an hour CNN gets shut down, so I was at the mercy of the BBC World News to keep me up to date, as well as the internet. Basically I had about as much information as you all did.

I live out of town, so I didn't actually witness any of the action from the heart of the city. So as I said I was completely safe the whole time.

Yesterday we were given a day off school. I just watched the news and researched online and watched movies, etc. It was a pretty chill day.

Today, I am back in school. Life is going on as normal. All my students are here today, tonight is meet the parents night. I'll keep you all posted if anything changes...

love you all, Crys
