So two days ago there was this German festival here, music, German food, German beer on tap, lots of Germans walking around, and big German businesses showing what how to with the glaring omission of Carl Zeiss or any of the German car companies, although there was a Mini there (German company making an English car in France). It was also my friend's birthday and so many of us were there eating sausages and drinking lager and dark beers until late at night. Then we went to a tea house and hung out for a while longer then went back to the school where we decided to get something else to eat. Well we had fried noodled and we would live to regret it. The next day (yesterday) I spent the day in the hospital with pretty lousy dysentery. All liquids coming out of me were red. Thats no fun.

Lucky for me I got to come back home at night and sleep in my own bed. Today I carefully was eating some very bland food outside when suddenly there was an earthquake, im sure you would have heard of it on CNN or something. I thought I was getting dizzy again and was thinking "crap, back to the hospital" but turns out it was all of China going dizzy so I pulled out my camera to photograph the crowd of people that took to the streets.

There were several tremors through the day, many we could feel. Many people were outside in the wide open streets but then things just went back to normal. Some damage to some buildings, tiles falling of the sides of them, what seemed to be cracked window, and some stuff knocked over, but other then that Chongqing seemed to do ok, except for a primary school which is about 3 hours outside of the city that fell down and apparently trapped hundreds of children inside.


Well....never a dull moment here....
