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!
