Southeast Asia Roundup

Tim Blair has the best updates on all the craziness in Southeast Asia.

Oddly enough, my good friend the Asylum was in Thailand for Christmas. Quite a few of us were kinda worried, since we hadn't heard from her in a while, but apparently she is back home in Taiwan, and doing relatively fine. In a mass email she sent to the lot of us, she wrote the following:

Unbelievable. I cant believe I was there. If I wasnt scheduled to meet my parents online at 9:30 am, I would have been on the beach. Instead I was about 300 m from the beach and only had to run from the approaching waters. Seeing the terror up close is something I would never wish upon anyone. Hopefully I can get a full update on my blog station soon, right now Im exhausted and have to work.

Thank God for parents, that's all I got to say about that.
My assumption is that it is alright for me to post this (since it was a mass email and all...). Having a first hand account before my very eyes is too good to pass up, it needed to be blogged! I can't wait to see what she says when things get a little more... errr... normal for her. Glad you're still in one piece, Asylum!

Tim Blair also has links posted regarding supplies and donations. I whole-heartedly encourage everyone to do something. Every little bit helps.
