amid reports of a coup

Are there any mnetters out there???? Let us hope and pray that this isn't going to be another bloodbath, there is far too much instability in the world

a lot of students go out there on gap years

sorry to be completely stupid but this is China right??

shit shit shit

Thailand isn't it phew, just having a moment of panic

Apparently it is very rare for a coup to shed blood in Thailand. The news is playing it down quite a lot and the advice for people travelling there is to not change their plans. Of course this could all change within minutes.
