Concert at city Hall this evening, missed it 

There's a concert at Sakon City Hall this evening.  Traffic around the area, including the night marked is heavy.  It's an annual event, unfortunately I missed any public notices of the concert.  Can't miss the spotlights in the sky

Thailand FC 1 - Australia FC 2

Didn't expect Thailand to win against Australia. It was somewhat of a pleasant surprise that Thailand scored first and kept the lead during the first half.

He quite often caught the ball or diffused a score attempt. But the odds were against him.
