2-Year Tsunami Memorial
Click the title above to see pictures.
This marks year 2 since the tsunami and this area had memorials up and down the coast. This is a day of rememberance and mourning, but Thais don't mourn like we do in America, even funerals are parties. It doesn't mean people aren't sad and devasted, it is just another way of dealing with pain. Eating, trying to have fun, trying to laugh, spending a lot of time with friends and avoiding being alone, that is how it's done here. Today marks the anniversary of thousands of deaths, and a day of great suffering for people in this part of the world, on the Indian Ocean. This is also the day that marks a great outpouring of compassion from around the world. Blessings to each of you that helped in some way here on the Andaman Sea.
