red shirt shorts

Starting on Friday we are expecting to be at home quite a bit because of some political rallies that are supposed to be taking place in Bangkok. I'm not sure if it's big new in the States, but around here it's all anybody talks about.

We know very little about Thai politics and definitely are not involved with either side. But we have learned one important thing: one side wears yellow shirts and the other side wears red shirts. In fact, the two sides are normally just referred to as The Yellow Shirts and The Red Shirts.

In fact Asher's red shorts are about as involved as we get in Thai politics.

And of course the boys have their red shoes.

From what we have heard the Red Shirts are basically planning on cutting off some of the roads leading into the city and they are planning on having several large rally points around the city. As a result Roger's language school is closed tomorrow and we are planning on staying around the house for the next few days. Luckily we live in a part of town that will not be affected by the rallies.
