Myanmar (Burma), Quake and Tsunami
23/02/05 Filed in: Travel
This is a small note to all my friends who have been
enquiring about me here in SE Asia. As you
might know from the stories here, I am still
traveling around SE Asia and for the past 3 months
have been living in Myanmar (Burma).
Communications from here are rather difficult at
times and access to the Internet to upload the text
part of my little stories can be an all day affair.
Uploading photos from here is usually not possible
due to the extremely slow connection speeds available
to me. Please accept my apologies for the
delays this may have caused.
You all must know of the massive earthquake that shook SE Asia about a week ago. Even though the epicenter of the quake was hundreds of miles away the building here rocked and swayed for the longest time and people were running in the streets. There was no significant damage here from the actual quake. Unfortunately, the Tsunami that followed caused some loss of life along Myanmar's southern coast. Though Myanmar seems to have been spared the great losses of most of the other countries hit by the Tsunami, we are still saddened by this great human tragedy.
Thank you for your kind thoughts and concern for my safety here. Wishing you all the best in this New Year!
