While Thailand is normally a very peaceful place, they had a bombing over New Years. I had actually flown into the country earlier that afternoon. We went to dinner that night, and then a group of us was planning on going to Central World for the ball dropping since it was only two buildings down from our hotel. Luckily we went back to the hotel first, and our taxi got searched for bombs. We asked them what was going on, and they told us that there was some bombings earlier in the day, and that all New Years celebrations were cancelled. So, we ended up going someplace else instead. When midnight struck, two bombs went off in Central World. Thankfully we were not there.

Too much excitment for me.
