I went to SICHUAN CHENDU for a visit earlie. 3 days ago, I experienced the 6' degree earthquake. It happened at 2:30 in the afternoon. We were in a room on the 9th floor. There was no sign or any indifference in envrionment. I
n a sudden, the floor started shaking, even sliding backward and forward at 30' degree. We went to hide in the washroom. Because the celling is make of the the strongest cerement. After 10 miniutes, we heard of screaming and calling for escape from the hall , we run out down stairs with a large crowd. What a luck, we werenot hir down by any fallingdown.
we were safely escaple from the building.
Surely, we stayed out at that night.

I am a chinese. i just came back from Canada Toronto. Then I need to go back to the hometown to visit the relatives since i have been out for 7 years, then, there is the huge 8' earthquake. Then, transportation become a big problem. I could not go anywhere outside the CHENDU. But i will say that the nature disaster is not prohibited. But, still, it is a huge tragety to SiChuan people.
