I am sure many members would remember the Boxing day Tsunami on 26th Dec 2004. The Indian ocean in the name of Tsunami rose up 30 feet in height to destroy everything in it's path,. The worst affected parts were after Bentota on the way to Galle. I took this trip to see whatever remained of the devastation. The Japanese Govt, Sri Lankan Govt with all the international aid, have done much to repair the damage.
