omg, Sichuan MAJOR EARTHQUAKE...

the mountainous highway we travelled now have been cut off, unreachable..

imagine me there, the shake will cause snow from mountain to create the avalanche, and the rock falls from the mountains to the highway...we only travel in a small van...

and along the way, we hardly see civilsation, how to reach me...

haiz...one week before entering tibet. riots started, people killed. So we escaped kana injured/stranded/killed.

one month left sichuan, all the place gone down to rumbles..

i saw on newspaper today, the highway/places we went, now is filled with huge rocks fell from cliffs..the cars are flattened ...its scary...

at sichuan, for the past 15 days, when i was seated at the front seat helping the driver to watch out for rocks, i wonder if one huge coming rolling down, we have nowhere to siam...and kana hit and we and van can roll down 4.800m ...straight down the mountain slopes..! no one can find us, cos there's no civilisation along these routes..
