I guess most victims live in rather rural areas. There you can have more than one child.

I've been there and as soon as you leave the big cities Chongqing and Chengdu, you are on open fields with small villages.

The building was all shakey for 5 minutes though, we had to evacuate.

yesterday I asked my girlfriend, who works in Hong Kong, whether she felt the earthquake. her response "earthquake? wtf are you talking about". She never reads the news :P

I've been to Sichuan in 2002 and know some people there. Hope they are all right.

I think we only felt it in Shanghai (about the same distance away as HK) because we're on the 38th floor - the people on ground level (or even the lower floors) didn't really notice it.

I read that the buildings in Shanghai were evacuated, but apparently not in HK, so I guess there simply was more boom to it in your direction.

'If everyone in China jumped at the same time it would knock the Earth out of orbit"

Well it didn't, but I bet they won't be fucking trying that again in a hurry!
