Earthquake in China

It happened yesterday, but initial reports did not speak of the seriousness of the 'quake. I appears that there are thousands of deaths in Sichuan province which is in south west China, where one or two schools have been destroyed and a hospital too.

I am in southern China, but I understand now that even in Shanghai which is not far from Shaoxing, that the tremor was felt.

For my friends and family I'm happy to report that we have not felt the tremors here. So all is well.

This map will show you where Shaoxing is. We flew into Shanghai, which is to the right of the map, and drive through outskirts of the the city of Hangzhou, down to Shaoxing. It was good quality road/freeway all the way.

Many of the students come from Ningbo - apparently famous for seafood. One day I will visit there, I am sure.
