I woke up this morning with the news that they city was under state of emergency. I am not all that too sure what that means, life on the streets seems just as any other day.
We hear that the army commander is now in charge and arrests can happen far more easily, gatherings of more than five people are banned and that would be some restrictions on the news that get published. Right now the Bangkok Post website is not working, probably overloaded with traffic. They have announced water and electricity strikes tomorrow affecting governmental buildings, I don’t work or live in one so hope to escape it.
Although this might sound unsettling there is a great feeling of normality around here and nobody seems at all worried. Lets keep that way an carry on just as any other day.

Thanks for the live update, Ros. In Spanish TV sounds like something really big+violent is going on there, so it’s good to hear you remain calm. Hope it stays like that! Un beso desde Spain ;-)
