One year on. It's funny, last year I wasn't terribly affected by it, when it actually happened. I mean I was shocked, and sad, but I felt detached from it. Now one year later and the magnitude and the horror of it has really hit me.
Lest we forget.

I have just been watching some of the documentaries and memorial services this morning. One year on, and it is a poignant reminder of the magnitude of the whole thing. I know what you mean Aelia about being very open to things one year later. I don't think it is hitting me any harder than last year (although there was a day or two of shock before we got too many details back then) - more that a lot of the same thoughts and emotions are back today.

I have just written a note to a good American friend of mine explaining what Bali was all about. That shocked me a little, and given that this thread has not recieved many responses, could I please ask any Americans who read it that they please reply indicating whether they know what the thread is about.

I'm not American, but of course I know what this is about. I read this thread a few hours ago and was planning to answer it after I did some chores.
It was a tragedy, what can I say... I've read stories in several Dutch magazines about people that were killed in the Bali bombing. Hugh performed at the memorial concert, I thought that was great. It's not forgotten.

I remember how furious I got when I heard about this, bombing a club full of tourists that are there to have good time, damn such cowards...
lets hope it doesn't happen again |

Davros, I'm from Holland, but now living in America, and I have to say, if anyone here doesn't know about Bali, it's purely because big events on the other side of the globe are not given very much (media) attention due to the fact that they're simply out of America's geographical ball-park. I often can't believe how much the U.S. is kept in the dark either, so I do understand your incredulity.
To me, the Bali bombing was shocking news. A terrible tragedy. I certainly won't forget it.
