Boxing Day 2004
December 26th, 2004How awful. An undersea earthquake measuring 8.9 on the Richter scale struck at about 7am this morning off the coast of Sumatra in Indonesia, triggering massive tsunamis that have killed thousands in Indonesia, Thailand, the Maldives, Malaysia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and India. Resorts in places I’ve visited like Phuket and Phi Phi Island have been completely swept away. It’s reportedly the fifth largest tremor recorded since 1900, and the largest since 1964.
Tragic. And just imagine when it’s Tokyo’s turn.

Christmas has come and gone again. Which leaves me wondering – what will the new year bring? *Apprehensive*
