Boston, Burlington, Jakarta, Bangkok?
Yeah, that’s right, I’m going to Indonesia and Thailand in two weeks. For human rights work stuff. We fly in east both times, which means going halfway around the world to get there, then the other half to get back. We’ll be doing follow-up tsunami reconstruction reporting, focusing largely on Burmese refugees doing forced work in Thailand. I take photos and write about it, eat curry, try not to get malaria, etc. Very exciting, no?
In other world news, let’s have a moment of silence for the 1500+ people in the Phillipines who died in the mudslide this morning. I think we’ve had enough of natural disasters for one lifetime.
