Map of Indonesia

As it looks now, I am going to fly to Solo on Wednesday, this city has and official name of - Surakarta -.

There is an airport in the city at the epicenter of the Earthquake, however I guess it is closed. Solo is less than 50 miles from Yogyakarta or also the name of Djokjakarta.

I thought I would need to fly to Surabaya, or maybe Jakarta, it is looking like I can get closer. I have not purchased the airplane ticket, therefore all plans can change.

This is an overview map of the country of Indonesia.

The decision to go to the Earthquake area become more obvious when you know that I wanted to go see the Volcano, then you see that the Earthquake is less that 100 mile away from the Volcano.

Earthquake City
Yogyakarta population of 477,000 people more or less.

Airport close that is open.
Solo population of 519,000 people more or less.

Ten Bird Flu death's in Indonesia during the last week (careful with that Chicken Fried Rice).400,000 - 500,000 dead so far from the undersea earthquake just offshore Yogyakarta (think Tsunami while at the beach there).A preeminently eruptive volcano (point of interest, Mt. St. Helens' pyroclastic flows killed people up to 18 miles away).... you sure know how to have fun!

Andy - for god's sake take care! You are our eyes and ears with which we see and hear the world; and, yes, our nose for smelling it and our mouth for tasting it. Without you, all this will be lost. I'm praying for you every night. Keep reporting from the scene - your stuff is real, unlike all that bulls*&% from the world's press, written by people who might be able to string together a few coherent sentences but are flown in and flown out without understanding what's happening to our planet. You know what ordinary people feel. Peace and safety be with you.Rick Astley
