• the tsunami disaster victims need you

  
  

  i know this is a little late, but here is a list of donation agencies in HK (with links to their HQ websites) for those who still haven’t made donations

  
  

  please give; every penny counts

  
  

  i was on vacation with peter when it happened and luckily escaped unscathed (in fact we didn’t see any of the damage at all) It was only until we went to the Phuket airport to fly home, and saw people in wheelchairs, people bandaged up, babies screaming, people fighting their way to the counters to get on flights, the despair/helpessless/fatigue and grief in people’s eyes, that the magnitude of the destruction really hit me

  
  

  i still get quite disturbed when i see clips of Patong beach, and the area where the nightmarket we just visited (now only an empty flat mudfield littered with debris) …. i wonder where the chatty women who sold me that von dutch mini skirt and the eager local man who took us to the back of his shop to buy DVD’s are now

  
  

  please give; these people really need you
