Cyclone

We're safe and sound in Thailand. It seems that this holiday couldn't have been planned better. According to the news, the cyclone will arrive here too but is apparently diminished in strength so it'll more be like a normal storm.

Yangon looks a mess when we see the pictures on the news and we hope our home is ok. But there is no way to establish contact at the moment. Sandra sent a message the other day (about something completely unrelated) and she got a message back telling her that the delivery has been delayed.... Which is not so strange as Yangon has no power (and no water either if we understood everything correctly). And KK got the news from the Burmese in Khao San Rd already yesterday that the whoel of Burma was closed already for 3-4 days. No flights in and out of either Yangon or Mandalay. Sandra had booked a little early because she had planned to go to the Burmese embassy before her parents would arrive (a plan which failed since it was extremely busy at the embassy when they arrived there so we didn't wait. The visa is now being arranged via a travel agency). But in teh end it was a good thing we got here this early or we might not have gotten here at all.....
