Earthquake Hits China; Max Plays Ping Pong
By now you might have heard the news that an earthquake has hit Central China. The first I heard of it was this thread at Shanghaiexpat.com .
I don’t have any dramatic stories; I was playing table tennis on my balcony with Dad when it hit, and didn’t feel a thing! I just got a call from a distressed Aika, asking if everything was ok. I had to tell her that we didn’t feel anything, and if I hadn’t stumbled on the thread at ShanghaiExpat.com, I wouldn’t have known what she was talking about.
I can’t imagine why we didn’t feel anything. The guys from the previous post aren’t anywhere to be seen though. *gulp*

Though there was a large earthquake in SiChuan,it is too far away from
Shanghai.So you could’t feel anything when the disaster taking place.
It was usal.
Secondly,do you know that Shanghai was made up of sand from ChangJiang.
It’s very soft.Because sand is soft.If the earthquake ‘meet’ soft things
it become weaker and weaker.
That’s why you didn’t feel anything.
