Riots in Bangkok hit close to home

[Maria Disla]

My good friend and fellow political news junkie Greg Pfeffer is currently studying abroad in Thailand. I have talked to him a few times since hes been gone but it's hard because he is about 12 hours ahead in time to the U.S. I was just talking to him today and he mention that he has to leave Bangkok and head for safer area since riots just broke out where he is staying and its no longer safe. He will be taking a train and heading for Chang Mai then Cambodia. I think it is amazing that he is having such a great experience and still essentially 'in school.'
