50+ Heads of State to get close to 10+ Volcanos Now Under Watch
The upcoming Asian-African Summit to be held in Jakarta from April 22 to April 23 will be attended by at least 50 heads of state of Asian and African countries.
They're just in time!
Indonesian scientists on Thursday placed 11 volcanoes under close watch after a series of powerful quakes awoke intense subterranean forces and increased the chances of a major eruption.

One of the 11 volcanos is Tangkuban Perahu which is very near where they will meet in Bandung.
Would someone make sure Bush gets his invitation? Wouldn't want him to miss those yellow and black people. (Bush: "So, you guys in Africa have black people, too?")
I continue to watch the region for seismic activity. It's fun to watch at least 1 magnitude 5 quake hitting Indonesia at the same depth every day.
Indonesia has more than 130 active volcanoes and endures daily seismic jolts attributed to the Pacific "Ring of Fire". Three continental plates meet in the region, shifting constantly with immense force deep beneath the islands that make up the country.
My money is on the Lake Toba supervolcano.
