so, now what does your family do exactly? that's pretty interesting to me. So were they in on the Mocambique floods and Guinea Bissau wars?
Are you looking for some goofy, spaced-out American kid that can speak Afrikaans, Spanish and some French? African experience is go. ;)

NZ is way off target, 'Ring of Fire': http://pubs.usgs.gov/publication…
although, it is a give and take scenario.

death est. 49,000! this is awful.
- DutchBoy0
i even heard 56,000 and that it could easily rise to over 70,000.
this is most likely the worst disaster most of us have witnessed in their lifetime, both in scale and casualties.
horrible.

that's an enormous radius of death. bad karma

I work for the American Red Cross, and as a flicker of positivity, we are getting lots of donations and people offering help. Just thought I'd pass that along and say thanks to everyone that's contributed!

my buddy from Bangkok decided to spend the holiday in Phuket.. Tried reaching him on his cell to no avail. Hopefully he's alright.
