Still OK in Bangkok #2

Gerald is still trapped in Bangkok. Latest letter:

I have just heard that Tracy has cancelled my arranged return plans, and has booked my flight home thru Mumbai with a three day stay at the Oberoi Hotel and then on to Kabul via Karachi. She seems to be having trouble arranging flights from there but assures me she will have some information about my return waiting for me when I arrive at the Kabul Grand Taliban Hotel.

Tres cute, Gezza!!! Guess from that you're still trapped in the Sheraton, still fine and still bored out of your brain. Oui? Chin up! Things could be worse. Two Poles and a Dane could steal your breakfast table.

But I do have news. According to SCMP, bombs have exploded along the highway to the Suvawhatever Airport so you may have a rough ride when you finally do get to depart. Good luck with that.

Oh, and here's even Big News: seems everyone is beating up everyone else at the airports.

And even bigger news: a Hong Konger was killed somehow yesterday afternoon, so Hong Kong announced late last night they are sending planes into Pattaya over the next few days to rescue Hong Kong citizens. You don't still have your Hong Kong Residency, do you?

If you do, hey, it will be fun! If you make your way to U-turn Airforce Base, you'll get refugee-evacked out of there and be flown to here! Too cool, huh, since it means you can come stay with us. Sure, it may not be the Kabul Grand Taliban, but we do have too-short beds with too-hard mattresses, not a great deal of hot water, and a trick to flushing the loo. However, needless to say, you're welcome to all of them.

Oh yeah, how were the epelants?
