Lady Ga Ga's Visit

Lady Ga Ga is playing a concert or two in BKK this weekend.  The venue for the shows is Ramanangala Stadium, which is in my neighborhood. 

So if you see any long shots on TV, the surrounding neighborhood includes my university (right next door).  My pad is up the road a piece, almost a mile, but I can see the lights and hear the crowd when there's a show or a big game.  Traffic will not be a problem for me, as I rarely venture out of an evening anymore.

The stadium name is interesting.  Thai is funny with the "ng" sound, it can come in the front of a word or at the end.  So it might be "ramanang-ala," or it might be "ramana-ngala."  If I've ever heard anyone say the word, I've forgotten.
