Crazy times in these last few days. In the country a jump to the west from us we had the Mumbai attacks and in the country a skip to our south protesters attacked the airport in Bangkok (the same one we hoped to fly into next month) and down the street there was a hostage standoff at a local supermarket. Yesterday, the Kunming Media and police sources reported that a Chinese man attacked customers with a knife at the French supermarket Carrefour and took a woman hostage. The standoff was ended after 5 hours when a police sniper killed the attacker.
Crazy to think how close to home that is and that Carrefour is often where I go to buy things for the coffee shop and for my home. In fact, in the picture above is exactly where I park my electric scooter. The picture below describes the event in detail so please don't look closely or zoom in if you are distrubed by violent images.
