OK, this covers two worsts. 1) The earthquake and all it entails, 2) THE MEDIA.
i'll post the link. my mother forwarded my sister's email to my aunt who apparently works at a newspaper. apparently the story wasn't interesting enough on it's own because the author decided that if my sister is a christian in Thailand she MUST be a missionary, and let's make it 3 years while we're at it. she isn't. she is an english teacher in Seoul trying to pay off student loans, she went to Thailand for Christmas because it was cheaper than flying to the states.
bad media
