More fear, violence and unrest

Earlier this week, there were about four seperate bombing incidents in the Southern provinces of Thailand. The thing that is different in these cases are that they did not occur in the three provinces that had had the most violence in the past, but had moved northward to the next province. Because of the northward migration of violence, naturally the fear that violence would spread to Bangkok has arisen. Of course that has me on edge now because my mother is expected to come in May for a month to help with our baby and then we will be leaving this country for good come late July or early August. I'm hoping and praying there will not be violence and danger here in Bangkok -- not EVER, but especially not until we leave. It's a pity, this whole situation. If you want to read some more details about this, there is a CNN article.

(Side note, I'm going back to the original text size because the larger text wasn't showing correctly on the screen -- on MY monitor anyway!)
