Dujiangyan

I just listened to this story on the NPR website.

This is more appropriate than analysing or comparing this disaster etc... (sorry). I visited Dujiangyan in 2005 and my thoughts keep going back to this city. But even for those who can only see Sichuan as a remote place with an alien culture, this report must be moving, since it shows a universal human experience.

After listening to this report, I've nothing left to say apart from "don't forget the people in Sichuan and Myanmar and don't spend your time or money on BS!" - from now on, I will try to heed my advice (being this blog's most avid reader) and keep my mouth shut for a while...
