We woke up and decided that a free continental breakfast at the hotel was way better than paying to go somewhere. And as far as hotels go this was probably the best place I have ever been to for continental breakfast. It was actually really great. I had waffles with strawberries on top and hard boiled egg. Im not really sure of all the stuff Doug ate but I do remember that he gave me a bite of

Bangkok Not So Dangerous Now
Just a quick blog to finish off on Bangkok before we head off to Hong Kong.You probably know by now that the Red Shirt protests ended in violence. The army moved in over 2 days declaring the centre of the city a ldquoLIVE FIRE ZONErdquo and shooting several armed and unarmed people.

The story of Andrew Wakefield in pictures
I’ve blogged a lot about anti-vaccine hero Andrew Wakefield over the years. The story has become long and convoluted, and to tell it takes a lot of verbiage, even by my standards (or those of Kimball Atwood). However, I’ve found a good resource that tells the tale of Andrew Wakefield and his misdeeds in a highly accessible form:
The question at the very end of the story is about as appropriate as it gets. Unfortunately, the answer to the question is: Yes.

Dutch and Danes threatened by Al Qaeda for upcoming World Cup
Attacks by Radical Islamists against Western Europeans have been on the rise in recent weeks. Two weeks ago, Swedish Cartoonist Lars Vilk's home was busted into, grafiti was smeared on the walls, and a small fire was set. Prior to that he was head-butted and verbally assaulted by a group of Muslim youth at a university seminar.
And now this from the Dutch News:
Dutch security officials said Wednesday they are taking seriously the threat to soccer fans after a terrorism suspect arrested in Iraq claimed he considered attacking Dutch or Danish fans at the World Cup in South Africa.
Judith Sluiter of the Netherlands’ anti-terrorism coordination office says the comments made by Abdullah Azam Saleh al-Qahtani were in line with her agency’s perception of potential threats.
Dutch Member of Parliament and current candidate for President Geert Wilders may also be a target during the World Cup series. Continuing:
Al-Qahtani said he considered attacking the Dutch and Danish teams or fans to avenge perceived insults to Islam.
“We discussed the possibility of taking revenge for the insults of the prophet by attacking Denmark and Holland,” al-Qahtani told The Associated Press. “If we were not able to reach the teams, then we’d target the fans.”
Al-Qahtani, a Saudi citizen, was arrested in Iraq on May 3 after a note he had written detailing similar plans was found at a house where two leading al-Qaida suspects were killed in April.
Dutch citizens are considered potential targets in part due to an anti-Islam film made by right-wing Dutch politician Geert Wilders. Similarly, Danes have been considered at risk due to the publication of cartoons featuring Islam’s prophet Mohammed.
