Tsunami Disaster

Mom just called me telling me about the travel news. The government had warned travelers who planed to go to Phuket before 1/10, because of the disaster a few days ago.

I became worried, so I searched for news and forums. It turned out that mainland Thailand was okay. So we can still go.

Many people wanted to cancel their trips because of the disaster. I think they worry too much. One of the reasons we have high education is to have the ability to differentiate facts from tales. We should search for the facts ourselves, and then decide if we should go. Not just listen to the news, because you know how Taiwan news groups are - they don't tell the whole truth.
