I was out of the city when the quake struck so came through ok. We've had to leave our apartment, as it is in the worst hit area of the city and nobody is allowed back, but hopefully we'll be able to go back at some point to retrieve our possessions. It looks like the car might be gone though, as apparently, the underground carpark collapsed.
My workplace was actually closed down after the boxing-day earthquake, but the insurance policy we had in place has been ensuring I still get paid. Unfortunately however, my girlfriend's work was taken out in this quake, and they don't have such comprehensive insurance, though luckily the government is helping out people in this situation.
We've come to the conclusion that we're probably going to move to another city either here in NZ or in Australia. We both work hospo, and it's going to be very difficult to find employment in this field for the foreseeable future.
At the moment, we're actually doing pretty good. My girlfriend's mother paid to move the family (myself included) to a five star luxury resort, so we're taking a break for a few days before moving on with the next phase of our lives.

Thank you for writing. Attika is also concerned, but I'll make sure he sees this.
I am so glad you are okay! I posted a link to your response in The Lounge too. Kan was wondering about you as well.
