It was a muted New Year’s Eve countdown at the Esplanade.
Corrinne May was wonderful live, but more on that later.
The latest figure that BBC gave on the death toll of the tsunami attack is 124,000 and counting. Reports say that the actual number of dead may never be known.
Thankfully, there are still countries like Canada who are generous and kind enough to write off debts owed to her by poorer countries affected by the tsunami. The other richer countries would do well to learn from this.
With a saddening end like this, 2005 should prove to be a much better year than 2004 was.
May the affected get the relief they need so desperately soon.
