Aceh from afar




So yesterday was quite an uneventful birthday but I didn't mind because today was my real birthday treat. When I was preparing for this trip, I managed to convinced my mother to fly out to Aceh to visit my uncle. And she agreed to come if I organised the flight tickets (which was anyway easy because I bought them online hah!) - ahh yes I'm so lucky to have a mother who is game to do some crazy things with me. We left for the airport rather early (6am) to get to Aceh in the morning and this is what I took from the plane ride there. As you can see even thought the Tsunamis hit Aceh in 2004, parts of Aceh are still submerged and when you hear someone say that earthquakes changes the way a country looks, it became really evident to me in these pictures.
