tsunami

Thailand was a popular tourist destination for Scandinavians. 3000 Swedes are missing, so the tsunami may be the worst natural disater in Sweden's history. Given that Sweden's population is only nine million, the proportion of Swedes killed may end up the same as the proportion of Indonesians killed.

that's like the death toll on 9-11 compared to the population of NYC.

The Swededs cancelled their annual fireworks on New Year's Eve in honour of the dead.

That was an ominous slip of the fingers - Swede-deads. ;-)

But thanks for stopping by.
