Dear Sulo,

We are in Colombo not effected by spoilt water and infections. We are starting to work today. The roads are not passable beyond Bentota on the coastal line. But you can go from the interior to Galle, Matara etc. But it will take some time before normal life come back to this region. Only the coastal belt approximately 1km into the country from the beach has been effected. This is all around the country. The rest of the country is safe and normal. Mysteriously our office is 50 meters away from the coast has not been effected because there is a cliff in the beach in that area. The houses in the coastle area look as if they have been taken up and smashed to the ground. I too feel positive that the ladies who sell lace must be dead. And I also fear for the lives of Ceysands hotel staff. In Yala the Yala Safari Hotel all tourist and 60% of the staff are dead. Families that were in the cars on the coastal road have all died. The train with 1200 people which had 9 carriages does not have a single survivor and only 4 carriages are found a little beyond Bentota. The other 5 carriages and the engine are still not found, may be it is in the sea. Is is simply horrible.

Love and Regards to All.

Eshara.
