After that, Mr Svanstrom said, they experienced the devastation of a cyclone in Cairns and the flooding in Brisbane, and narrowly escaped the bushfires in Perth. Just before the trio arrived in New Zealand, the 6.3-magnitude earthquake hit Christchurch. "We were there, the whole town was a war zone. We could not visit the city since it was completely blocked off," Mrs Svanstrom said.
In Tokyo, they felt Japan's largest tremor since records began, Mr Svanstrom said. "The trembling was horrible and we saw roof tiles fly off the buildings. It was like the buildings were swaying back and forth," he said, adding that he survived the devastating tsunami that hit south-east Asia in 2004.
On March 29, the family returned to Stockholm after a much calmer visit to their last destination, China. Mrs Svanstrom said she could "only laugh". "You think: 'Are we weather persecuted? What will happen next?' It is almost absurd."

I read about this couple the other day.
I think if there is a god, he/she/it is trying to kill this guy. And either this god is inept, or this guy is like Steven Seagal: Hard To Kill.
A 4 month long honeymoon? Yes, clearly they have a very hard life. I feel super bad for them.
Where are they planning to go next? Shouldn't they warn the inhabitants first? They might be able to make a good living at getting paid *not* to visit places.
Lucky Couple...
They've nothing on Tsutomu Yamaguchi. He survived the bombing of Hiroshima, evacuated to Nagasaki and survived the bombing of that too.
I think the universe is telling them to stay home.
