Its very weird as I write this I am actually in Banda Aceh but in March to commemorate three months since the tsunami and how the afrea has begun to get itself back on its feet. Looking back at these photos it is interesting to see what has changed – but that will be under later blogs.
I think what stuck me here and which still can not be conveyed pictorially or by the written word – only by actually being here is the immense scale of what has happened to this small community. In Aceh province so far o date 126,000 people have been buried and another 93,000 are missing – (March 05 figures)
This was not an uncommon sight – here we have Ian and I with a local fishing boat – and yes it is on someone’s house.
