We're on Cathay Pacific #507 out of Osaka traveling (36 hours) via Hong Kong then Paris to Budapest on Air France. The news looks better today if only because Libya and scandals pushed us off the top story in The Australian and the NY Times.
Olcika is tired and thinking that when the bad news was coming relentlessly she was really worried for us and our friends, but now there’s a lot of uncertainty and we hear from experts that this purgatory could go on for a long long time.
