What a tragedy. We heard about this yesterday and thought about our Sticky Rice leader right away -- sorry this happened in your country, Susanna. Hope no one you know was on the train. I know this took place somewhere between Hong Kong and Shanghai along the coast and that they are reponting 35 dead as of this morning. So sorry this happened.
