 In any case: good luck!

 Local news uphere reports about 60 tourists upthere (from our country), 17 have been found, all others still missing and 2 dead. Right now i don't have any hope at all anymore.
Best thing that can happen is that my parents saw the tsunami comming and are in the hills somewhere right now or at some roof of a hotel/building. Either way they need to get back home and i don't think they have papers/money/clothes or whatever if they survived.
