Back to normal

Last weekend was a major city clean-up. There were thousands of people who volunteered to help clean the former protesting site. I rode by on the sky train and saw all the activity. It was really nice to see and a very positive sense of community was in the air.

So things got back to normal pretty quick. The sky train and subway were both opened on Sunday and the shopping centers around the affected areas were open by Monday. The curfew is hardly worth mentioning since it's only 12:00am-4am. That will finish this weekend.

There are still Thais convinced that the red shirts will surface again and instigate more violence. But for now they are quiet.
