The government has declared a memorial day today and a service is being held in the park in the middle of town (Christchurch's Central Park equivilent). Most locals aren't going though. It's too soon, the disaster is actually still unfolding, the roads are broken so its quite difficult to get anywhere, and the emotions are still a bit too raw.Crikey, the whole central city is still cordoned off. They were thinnking of allowing people in to see the damage but decided that they simply cannot find any path into the city that is safe for the public.Most of the city has power now, most people have water (but it still has to be boiled), and about half are able to use their toilets. That's after a huge amount of repair work.</blockquote>
