Staring down the barrel of a loaded tank

Ok, I finally have an internet connection where I can freely upload files from my camera to post to this blog.

First, the so-called military coup in Thailand! I went to where the tanks have been sitting but it was sort of like Disneyland. On each side of the road leading to the parliament building were four tanks, some armed soldiers, and they were all surrounded by small gates. The soldiers approached the gates to pose with tourists, and families were sending their children through the gates to photograph them beside the tanks. There was even one father who dressed up his child in army fatigues and a toy gun.
