New Orleans News
By Joshua | September 11th, 2005 | 
2 Comments » The tragedy in New Orleans has been in and out of the Indian papers. Of interest is that India donated $5 million and Bangladesh $1 million to U.S. relief efforts, a gesture that makes me think of El Salvador sending troops to Iraq, just trying to stay on Uncle Sam’s good side. But perhaps that’s not fair; whether symbolic or not, that’s a lot of rupees. In any case, today’s headlines show the Indian media’s real priorities: on the front page of BOTH English language newspapers are articles about Andre Agassi’s family life (“Tinies Before Tennis!”).

Thanks, for the note, Pat — nope, haven’t heard of any nearby outbreaks of J.E. We weren’t able to get the vaccination — too timely and costly and everybody told us too rare. Main worry is malaria, so just keeping covered, JB

Josh- news about Japanese Encephalitis outbreaks in northern/northeastern India are in the news here. Any problems in your area? You never told me if you decided to get vaccinated before traveling or not? Stay safe- and use your bug spray.
