Burma with no peace (set) by marus

Never mind to upload shots like these after my trip in Burma: another disgrace beats this wonderful country.
Non pensavo che le prime foto del mio viaggio in Birmania sarebbero state di questo genere, mio malgrado sono a documentare l'ennesima tegola che รจ caduta su questo meraviglioso paese.

I was in Yangon when Nargis came.
Suddendly in the night an evil wind blowed everything out, rain went horizontal and trees too, some pieces of the hotel rolled down beside my room.
That disquieting ululate put me awake all night long, next morning showed what Nargis was leaving behind.
This picture shows what remain of "Lake restaurant", broken glasses and wrapped panels. Outside, hundreds of trees and electric poles lied down, many streets were covered by water.
Burma people seemed to deal the disaster with the usual dignity, they keep smiling even on their knees, such as a surreal scene.
A people like that should deserve a lot more luck.
