Disaster

Indonesia is a volatile place. Originally, we had planned to go to Kota Ternate instead of Manado. While we were in Manado, an earthquake hit Kota Ternate. The day we were in Banakan, a volcano erupted in Siau, an island a little North of Banakan. 65 people were evacuated, 5 were injured and 4 went missing. The day after we left Banakan, a boat returning from there back to Manado, just like the one we had just taken, hit rough waters and crashed into a rock. Several passengers were killed. The scariest thing for me though is still crossing the street on my way to work in Jakarta.
