Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't written in a looonnngg time! I have been busy-looking for a job-so far no luck :( and I don't get internet in the place I am living right now. For those of you who don't know, I am in Phuket, Thailand (yes, again, I know) right now. I am going to write quickly about what I have been doing the past few weeks.
First of all, things in Bangkok are insane. I am glad that I am in Phuket and not there. So far nothing has happened in Phuket or the south part of Thailand since most of the red shirts are from the North or northeast (issan) of Thailand. All the Thai people down here say the red shirts won't dare to come down to the South. Oh-the red shirts are a group who like Thaksin (the old corrupt Thai Prime Minister who is now on the run from the law and hiding somewhere in Fiji or Papua New Guinea where he can't be extradited). The red shirts want the Thai government to hold new elections within 3 months, but Abhvisit (sp?) the new prime minister refuses to do so. So...who know's what will happen...but one thing's for sure...a quick fix will not solve everything.
Anyway, my time is up for now. I will update you all more later! Take care!
About Me

- I am a student at the University of Oregon and I am writing this blog to keep others up to date on my travels and internships in Southeast Asia (particularly in Thailand and Malaysia). I am also doing this to keep track of my internship experiences. This is my third time going abroad to this region and I do not think I will ever get tired of it!
