Hi There, 

I was supposed to have one afternoon class online today, yet it turned out no one but I showed up. I then  continued waiting for quite a while before giving up.  Well, I guess they might have gone somewhere for a long holiday this week.  Today is the last day of this long holiday that began on Asalha Bucha Day, an important Buddhist holiday, last Wednesday.  Many people left for holiday, especially since  they felt less afraid of covid-19 due to their having vaccination already.

According to several news reports, tourists happily flocked to several major tourist sites around the country.  They welcomed this holiday with excitement and joy since many had to keep themselves away from the crowd for months, or even years.  Not just the tourists but tourist-related businesses also looked forward to this long holiday, so their business could return healthy once again. 

The public health experts, however, warned that  while enjoying their holidays, people should continue guarding themselves by wearing masks, washing hands and avoiding crowds because new variants of corona virus are still around.  I agree with them on that warning.  Prevention is the best and it is not difficult to do that, don't you think so?
