There were two sweet young ladies from Indonesia in my class at CLD, Angie and Ya Di, and both of them had to return to Indonesia a few weeks ago, when they found out they couldn't get their student visas extended. They left while I was in Hong Kong, and I had no chance to get any contact info from them. Now I'm reading about all those people who were killed in the earthquake, and I don't know how to find out if my friends are OK. Hopefully the school will have an e-mail address or phone number in Indonesia so I can try to find out.

Not knowing is such an awful feeling.
