Scramble time!

Southern Thai Day 7
We started from 8 o'clock in the morning and rushed to a primary school in Phuket to cover a story about disaster prevention education.

going to a quiet resort beach for lunch... no one was around!
wow... a good place not many people know about!


there was a dog who knows well!
sleeping in peace... good to know there's peace here now!


TURN OF EVENTS!!
The day was supposed to end in peace, as we returned to our hotel and seeing many Chinese tourists checking in and I was falling into a doze at around 8 o'clock at night.

I received a call from Tokyo that they received breaking news of Benazir Bhutto being killed in Pakistan. I was told that I had to cut short my trip in Phuket and we had to scramble to Islamabad by tomorrow. In turmoil, I was able to get the tickets and I had to give up continuing my coverage in Phuket... Oh... we were saying we might be able to enjoy a little tomorrow afternoon after filming in the same school in the first half of the day... but in vain...

hooking on to BBC and CNN all night to gather information... what a wild night!!
