According to the latest media reports 12000 people have been killed in the Chinese earthquake with possibly another 18000 buried under one city! On a less sombre note my wife and I had a delicious lunch at "Hillman's"in 西塚町.My wife then had a French lesson in Hamakita.She really enjoyed it and said if anyone out there would like to study French then please contact 'Jean-Loup Petrequin'at lejlp@hotmail.com
