Realised that the tiny tremblings I felt a few days ago and assumed were heavy lorries on the highway above the village - was the edge of the earthquake which ripped though up to Japan when I heard from Krishna that they had had it in Pokhara over 5 on the rictor (sp?) scale! Amazingly and thankfully no one hurt and no damage.
Poor Japan. It feels quite close to home with many people here with friends and family there. No one I have spoken to has managed to get in touch with anyone there with all the communication systems down...
