This has absolutely nothing to do with the three towns, indeed I doubt it even gets a mention in the u k press.
However, I am so upset I must tell someone. Two days ago, Saturday, should have been the start of the three days annual carnival in Pangim, the capital. I was undecided whether to go to watch the opening parade at 3 o'clock and the crowning of King Momo. But I decided against it because it involved a one hour journey and a ferry crossing which is well crowded even ona normal day.
t 12 30 that morning a loaded bus went off the loading ramp at another ferry a bit further upriver. Ended up nose down in the river. Four young children on their way home from school drowned, plus at least two adults.
The whole three days carnival was immediately cancelled in respect. But I just cannot get it out of my mind, I have been close to tears for two days. Mike
