A thought on the New Orleans tragedy

Absolutly terrible.

It just gets more frightening with every other news story you read. Some one who was evacuated to the superdome even said that he'd rather be in Iraq. It made us here inTaiwan, where another trapical storm just passed yesterday, seem like living in paradise. We had high mountains to destroy a typhoon, while they had a bowl shapped land that invites floods.

One good part, though. Yesterday the American Red Cross website was so clogged up by people intrested in the "New Orleans Relief fund" program. Maybe you could check it out when the traffic is a little lower.

I've never that thankful to our motherland's mountains until I saw the hell-like scenery in New Orlean.

Taiwan is a great place.
