Tsunami never came....

Thank God the Tsunami never came....Hundreds died in Indo so I guess their hands will be out as usual...not that the victims nor their families will ever see any of it. People in the West please remember that their are more sterling millionaires in Jakarta than there are in the whole of Australia and most of that money comes from stealing IMF/Aid or just robbing foreign investors.

Last night I was having an unrousable on the couch when the building started to sway...trying to remain conscious was my main priority. Saw Ralph scared...she didn't even wait to pack up her jewellery. Several minutes later though when it looked as if the worst was over I did pop back and get all the valuables. The conundrum was do we go back home into our earthquakeproof but very tall building or go to a low rise hotel and risk being squashed by just four stories should Armageddon come?

As you can see from the posts last night we chose home although we kept our bags packed in case we had to bolt. So pleased that no Tsunami came this time.... again we are all reminded of our own inconsequence when compared to Mother Nature.

Ralph is just on the phone to her family. 80% of the building in Nias where her father originates have been destroyed but again thankfully none of her immediate family were touched.........

We all live to fight another day..... oh ya Da Wizard is off to Hong Kong today.
