calm

There have been no reports of deaths nor injuries through the whole of Chile following the country's experience of the tsunami.

I think the atmosphere here is very much of gratitude for the long period of warning and preparation. There didn't seem to be much panic - people abandoned the coastlines calmly and without frenzy at all, although there were stories of people in the areas worst hit last year taking as many of their belongings as they physically could out of their homes and up and beyond the hills.

After last year's events that doesn't seem surprisingly.

It seems that shall be all for my posting about this weekend's occurrences and their effect on Chile.

In other news, this coming weekend I shall hopefully be going to Mendoza - for visa renewal purposes, but also making the most of a weekend away eating Argentinian food with Phil. Who by the way has succumbed to the blogworld - albeit in a subtle tumblr disguise... Checkit.

Over and out.
