I tried to call home at 9 this morning but my sister said, "NO! Can't talk now, we all have to sing to the King!"
Thailand is exactly 12 hours ahead of Minneapolis, and at 9:09 p.m. Thailand time the entire nation sang the national anthem to King Rama IX to commemorate this being the ninth day of the ninth month of 2009. Already there is a video on YouTube of everyone singing to the King.
UPDATE: You can read about the sing-a-long at The Bangkok Post.
