This time off Sulawesi Island, Indonesia. The Beringin Jaya carrying up to 300 people capsized in rough seas last night killing at least 23. 11 rescued survivors are critical and more than 250 people are missing. The ferry was overcrowded and was carrying wedding guests.

Lovely. Go to a wedding, end up at a funeral. Your own! Same old thing in the usual part of the world too. Seems to me that avoiding ferries in the far east is a very good idea.
Cordially,
