Grateful escape


In this Dec 29, 2004 file photo, Kusol Wetchakul offers prayers for the soul of his sister, at dawn along the beach near Khao Lak, Thailand. Wetchakuls sister was swept out to sea and believed drowned in the tsunami.

Our columnist would probably have been killed in the 2004 tsunami, but luckily he went jungle trekking.

It's holiday season again and I’m back in Canada celebrating with family for the first time in eight years.
