Bombs in Bangkok, certainly not what some people were expecting.

BANGKOK, Monday, Jan. 1 — At least six small bombs exploded around Bangkok late Sunday, followed by two more just after midnight, killing two people and injuring at least 28 in a city that remains under martial law following a coup three months ago. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

Can’t I please just one day look at the newspaper and not see a story about bombings. For chrissaskes, you should be more worried about getting the clap than about getting blown up if your in Bangkok. That doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.
