Well, I think I will be leaving for Thailand early. Today I found out from my mom that we might indirectly know a few victims from the Asia earthquake tragedy. These victims, in Phuket, are the relatives of our old neighbours in Bangkok. Every time my parents and I are in the city, we make time to go visit them and see how they are (I did see them in 2003, but not the past summer). Originally I wasn't planning on doing any visiting in Bangkok, but given what has happened, I think I might go and see if their families in Phuket are okay. Hopefully they are all fine.
My job is expecting me on Jan 7th, if I can I will be leaving the 2nd to visit. Originally I was gonna leave 3rd or the 4th. Whether I will be able to leave early is unknown because I'm flying standby... we shall see when I leave.
Really sucks this has happened. The worst thing is that these victims have lost everything and they are the poorest of the poor people, especially those from Sri Lanka and India. Keep them in your prayers and any donations you can give to the Red Cross will go a long distance!!!
阿姨, 我有收到你的email. 我有機會的時候會跟她寫個email. 現在我很忙. 我還有很多事情要做, 準备去泰國.
你在台灣因該有聽到亞洲的大地震吧? 今天媽媽跟我講說我們以前在泰國住的邻居的父母親是在泰國的南部住的(Phuket)… 所以不知道他們的父母親有沒有出事. 如果爸爸, 媽媽還有我有去曼谷的話, 我們都會去看他們一下, 問好. 這次我本來就是要經過曼谷, 我因該去看看他們, 他們的家人是否平安. 所以我想早點去曼谷.
我本來要一月三號或者四號走的… 我為了想去看他們, 所以可能二號走. 要看飛機有沒有空位. 我是很想去泰國南部幫忙的, 那是不可能的. 所以就捐錢Red Cross, 让他們幫那邊的人.
