China mourns

We were walking back to the hotel today when we noticed people were just coming out of the buildings and lining up. We had no idea what was going on since we can't read the papers or watch the news. At first we thought maybe people came out to exercise. But as people lined the streets, we saw military line up and fire trucks come out, then we thought pehaps a parade. We kept walking, and then noticed everyone was quiet and there where no cars on the street, unheard of! then all at once every car laid on their horns and the fire truck sirens went off. It still took us a minute, but we figured out that it was a week ago today that the earthquake struck.
