My adopted country

Folks in Myanmar are still trying to put the pieces back together after the cyclone.

Please note that early and shocking estimates that up to 10,000 could be dead were too conservative. The story linked above says the number of dead is 84,537 and another 53,836 are "missing and presumed dead."

I've taken a slight interest in Myanmar. This is my fourth post about the country. I may set up a google news alert on Myanmar to send me more regular updates. It's not a bad idea to follow the fortunes of a foreign nation.
