I want to share this: Currently I live in #Cambodia, #PhnomPenh. Recently there was an #earthquake in #Myanmar. Cambodia is quite far away from Myanmar, but still some skyscrapers were very slightly shaking. In #Bankok, #Thailand one high rise building under construction entirely collapsed. Of course in Myanmar the damage was the heaviest, with lots of historic sites and cities completely destroyed.
Thousands of people died. Idk how much people cared in Europe about it, but here they do a lot.
