A week on

Update day 8: It has been a week on and the death toll has gone up to 154. They said it's not a rescue operation anymore, more than recovery of the bodies. I guess they think it is hard to survive in the rubbles for so many days.

I guess so, because humans can survive without water for only 3 days and 7 days without food. The death toll is still going to rise though. Some people are still missing.

So much for wanting to find a better pay job huh, there is a short term recession in Christchurch due to this strong earthquake.

Update on day 11: So far the death toll has gone up to 163. The city cordon is going to shrink by a little bit. Those who lives in the city could go over and take their belongings.

These aftershocks are still happening. I think it was today's aftershock that brings down more rocks. Sigh.. Probably will go on for a year before these starts to settle. Friend's house in New Brighton haven't even got power or water. Their carpet still smells. Am thinking of recommending carpet cleaners raleigh nc to them but not sure if the house is livable.
