Asia in this last week has seen a string of natural disasters:
* Friday 25/9/2009 - Philippines - Tropical Storm "Ketsana": killed many hundreds and leaving thousands homeless
* Tuesday 29/9/2009 - "Ketsana": upgraded to Typhoon as it hit the coast of Vietnam, causing widespread destruction, death and misery in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos
* Wednesday 30/9/2009 - Major Earthquake (Mag 8) in Samoa, causing damage and tsunami (okay - not in Asia...)
* Wednesday 30/9/2009 - Major Earthquake (Mag 7.6) in Sumatra, Indonesia, causing damage and tsunami
* Thursday 1/10/2009 - Serious aftershock (Mag 6.8) in Sumatra, Indonesia
and now, Typhoon "Parma" is hurtling towards the Philippines, probably due tomorrow .
And meanwhile, for those in the Northern part of Asia who avoided these natural disasters, the "local" authorities are preparing to join in by reportedly distributing Chemical Laced Mortars.
The question on everybody's mind is - today is 1st October - Chinese National Day. Once the celebrations are over, what will happen?
