China’s Misery Grows
It wasn’t until they reached Yingxiu that it became clear how nightmarish it was.
Chinese rescue workers arrived on foot for the first time since Monday afternoon’s earthquake at the town where 10,000 people used to live.
Today, they discovered, it has a population of only 2,300. Everyone else is dead.
Across central China today military helicopters began dropping food and aid workers started to reach the hardest-hit villages, areas that had been isolated because roads had been wiped away in the three-minute-long, magnitude 7.9 earthquake.

The more villages are reached, the scale of devastation escalates for China’s worst natural disaster in more than 30 years.

Shrimp w/ Lobster Sauce
Yum, yum! I think I am gonna get fat with all my talks here. It’s all about food lately. I still can’t get over the dinner we had last night, we were tired and initially planned on making some nice dinne, I requested to make steak but Hubby didn’t feel like cooking. Good thing we had this Chinese place down the road and we decided to just have some fast food. I ordered Shrimp with Lobster sauce. Sounded good. Placed the order, 10 mins later drove to the place to pick up the food.
I actually liked the food. In fact I thought it was awesome. I don’t like most of the foods on their menu. It tastes like they put a lot of artificial flavorings in them but this one was just plane with a little vegetable and it was great.
