Almost made up my mind to travel to Phi Phi Island, and I read about yet another tsunami warning. This time 7.7 earthquake hit the Andaman sea around the Nicobar Islands. Immediately a tsunami alert was triggered but unlike the devastating 2004 tsunami that hit Phuket and Banda Aceh, seems that this time neighbouring countries are safe.
Meanwhile the thermometer in my parents house in Malaysia is showing 31 degrees Celsius: according to my father it's now 4 degrees Celsius warmer than when he bought the thermometer 10 years ago in 2000. That means in every 3 years, it becomes 1 degree warmer? How scary is that?
Global warming, melting of the ice caps, more water in the seas... all in all very scary to travel to island destinations in South East Asia with all these earthquakes and tsunami warnings :-( Better go and have a swim at your nearest swimming pool...
