Tarta: Yes, right away from like from the "tsunami" hit, I went on the 28th, so two days after "tsunami" hit, so everything is like damaged and, you know all waters are all over the place. There's car on top of the buildings too, like the second floor of the buildings and rotten bodies like everywhere ...
Todd: Wow, dead bodies.
Tarta: Dead bodies like really everywhere, and because that time there were not many volunteers yet ... so if we just walk through the place that we just want to find a live person to give a food or to help but then we just hit by the dead body, like without knowing because it is a huge body and you can't recognize who is that person because, you know, all the faces are just getting, I just don't want to say it but ... but it really was ...
Todd: And you actually helped?
Tarta: I helped because I was there so early for two days and then I helped to the volunteer who helped to picking up the dead body so I ... whenever I find a dead body so I called the person and then we helped to pick up the dead body into the pick-up car and then send it to the temple. To ... for, what do you call the ...
Todd: The identification?
Tarta: Yeah, identification at the temple. So, because they have some base over there and carry on for almost a week so there are probably, like, 50 organizations who come and help us.
Todd: So after this horrific event happened, how did it change you? Like, did it give you a different perspective about life or about nature or ... anything?
Tarta: Yeah, I do agree. I think, I mean, nature always have a, what do you call, always fair you know? If you do ... everything have cause and effect. So if you do something it is going to give you a return in somehow, in someway, like whenever it's going to happen. So, I believe in "karma" too, so I think it's a good example that what humans do to the nature and nature give you back.
