    China Earthquake

    Hopefully none of our Chengdu NewEgg buddies were effected other than just getting a bit shaken by the big earthquake.  http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/05/12/china.quake/index.html

    Re: China Earthquake

    I've been following the news on CNN since this morning. This is so sad. I just learned a whole school collapsed. This earthquake was like the one that devastated Mexico D.C. 22 years ago, or worse.

Don't worry, We Xi'an Team will be here for u during Chengdu EggXperts' abesence. Any questions, just be free to contact us. :-) At ur serivice! Smile

    Re: China Earthquake

    Thanks all for your concern. CD team has come back to work today. There is no injury report so far in the branch. We have experience more than 1,000 aftershocks, within which the strongest one is 6.1 magnitude. It may still take some time for us to go back to normal lives. Anyway fortunately, it says the frequency and intensity of the aftershocks are getting weak. We appreciate your consideration with us. -toni

    Light be with U~

    Happy to learn our eggxperts are all fine. Just read news and really sad to see that the death toll had risen to 14,866. Keep my fingers crossed for those people. Peace out!  http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/05/14/china.quake/index.html
