I found
this fascinating survivor's story on the CNN
web site. Told in the first person, this young
man's journal entries are captivating! He
is British, but lives in Prague. Like so many
others, he was vacationing in Thailand with
friends when the tsunami struck.
BANGKOK,
Thailand (CNN) -- Briton Ian Colledge, 29,
is a keen diver who has traveled widely in
southeast Asia. He was on a diving trip to
Thailand with his Czech girlfriend, Petra
Vesela, when the tsunami struck the island
of Surin Neua. Since then he has been keeping
a Web log for CNN.com. He lives in Prague
and is writing his first novel. Read
his story!
