Good morning, everyone. The old is almost gone. The new set to start. Let's pray for a safe and saner new year. The staff in my building have been partying for the past two nights, having roped off the parking area and set up a stage, and their Karaoke can be heard into the wee hours. The Thais really do New Years well! I'm hoping for some good Fireworks displays from my windows tonight, and perhaps even a few good photos of the show. There should be thousands more khum loi (the hot air balloons) released over the city too. The police have blocked off all the U-turn lanes (where most of the traffic accidents seem to occur) and will have road-blocks set up everywhere looking to stop drunk drivers. There are LOTS of drunk drivers this time of year. Too many!

We're starting this Last Day of 2013 with a mug of East India Company's "Royal Blend" tea. We'll be drinking tea all day, and will stay off the roads. We really want to see 2014.
Happy New Year one and all!

Stitchawl and Mrs.
