Hi, Just in case you hear/read something related to the earthquake in Chile, it was stronger than the one in 1985, but we're OK and although we're in the central part of the country, it is roughly 400 Km. north from the more affected area. You'll see impressive images, but that's not the main part, it's just a "front page" photo impact. This country is full of quake-resistant buildings, and usually the ones that collapse are the oldest ones or the new structures were people decided to steal money (as with the elevated highways). The situation is complex but under control. -- Cheers Jorge.-
