I'm still smiling...

Southern Thai Day 6
I had no idea where I would be standing in the end of the day, when a squall attacked us minutes before my live broadcast. I thought I would get a big bull's-eye for the first time in my career, not making a live coverage. We were saved my many coincidences and luck, but here I am still smiling...

It was the third anniversary of the Indian Ocean Tsunami Disaster and I went to cover the memorial ceremony at Paton Beach. Many white people were among the participants. Still I was rather overwhelmed by how the revival of the area has brought back a tourist resort back to normality, as it was hard to find any trace of the tsunami, except warning towers and evacuation signs.

no one at Paton Beach at 7AM... a beautiful beach...


the ceremony at Paton Beach... many participants...

I surely would like to be here on vacation... but that will perhaps be so many years from now!

so many people in the afternoon... oh, I'd like to lie down too... but I can't!!
