The Samoa and Sumatra

The earthquake and tsunami hits again on Oct 1, this time at Padang and Samoa respectively. I heard and saw the victims on the TV was lost and grieving for their lost ones.

This reminds me of my own experience in Beijing where the whole building was shook by the tremors and everyone was dashing out of the building. Some panic some was relax, but the whole experience make one re-assess what is important in the end. At the street level when everyone reached safely, they called their family to ensure they are safety. At least they are safe.

For some of those victims in Samoa and Sumatra would have a different experience. They felt loss and lost at the same time. Hopefully both place will able to re-construct soon with the aid of local and foreign aid.
