visited the victim cemetary and also the victim identification centre in the morning.
the countries in which there were people who died during the tsunami; the entrance of the cemetary; the structure signifying the deadly waves; the burial ground for the victims; the incinerator; the wheel barrow [is that how you spell it?!] to transport dead bodies; the containers of dead bodies which have to be at a temperature of -17 degree Celsius. there were 5km of such containers immediately after the tsunami happened.=X; if i'm not wrong, that's also an icinerator.

so that concludes my whole trip at khao lak. been really wonderful. learnt to be appreciative, learnt not to take things for granted, learnt how to step out of my conmfort zone, learnt how to take the lead when people around you aren't, learnt how to teach, learnt how to empathize, learnt that all of us have to be brave no matter how life turns out to be, learnt how to have the never-say-die spirit, learnt how to tolerate insect bites, learnt how to make do with whatever resources we have, etc etc. in just 6 days. at least i could put down everything in singapore, and truly helped those who need help in another part of the world.
