Nothing really, but I am getting ready to re-visit Bangkok"The City of Angels", as it is more formally known (Bangkok being a nickname), and to see and to observe the Thai election on the 3rd of July. Lots of fun. Thailand has been plagued with coups, military dictatorships, and general political squabbling ever since it became a 'democracy' in 1932. Reformist governments get sacked by the military and left wing protesters get shot. (Is that over simplifying? No.)
In a week a new government will be sitting in the Thai parliament. Good luck to whoever it is.
I will be in Bangkok for a few days to see what happens, could be interesting, certainly if there is a coup coming up (the mil have said repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly, that there will not be a coupbut that people must vote "responsibly".
For your edification and amusement here are some election posters:

It's feast or famine when it comes to my social calendar. Almost everyone I know will be away or otherwise engaged this coming weekend. It could be a long and lonely holiday weekend for me.
