We are living in 50% of our time in Mae Hong Song, northern Thailand, but the best friend i have in this country, my sister-in-law is working on Koh Lanta ( Khlong Nin Beach). I just got a message from her, she's okay. But the body count there is high, they expect a death toll of 50% on this beach and the damage on this part of the island is unbelievable. It was a backpacker paradies with very few resorts but many small bamboo bangalows for 2 or 3 US$ a day. Now everything is gone. You ask why i'm posting this here ? I adjure you to not spend money on the firework this new year's eve but instead donate the money to those who lost everything. I'm very sure that your local news network show you bank account numbers where you can donate your money. Please help the people who lost everything. -- Best regards, emailto: scholz at scriptolutions dot com Lothar Scholz http://www.ruby-ide.com CTO Scriptolutions Ruby, PHP, Python IDE 's
