I appreciate everyone's concern in regards to the Yogyakarta earthquake. Fortunately, we're all safe and sound, but thousands have perished in this terrible crisis.
Due to the earthquake occurring in the early morning, many more people were still indoors than would have been later in the day - causing many more deaths.
I'm feeling as if Indonesia simply cannot get a rest from crisis these past few years. In only the 4 years I've been here the country has been hit with the tsunami, two major Bali bombing, Aceh unrest, numerous bombings in Jakarta, and untold stories of violence which never reach the major news networks. It's a volatile land which never fully seems to enjoy peace.
My heart goes out to those impacted by this latest disaster.
