Earthquake in China

When the earthquake happened we still were in Sichuan region but luckily not in one of the cities with the major damage. We were already on our way back to Chongquing from four-days Yangtze river cruise, and were standing in the bus station waiting for a bus to arrive. Then suddenly ground started to shake, so everyone in panic start running towards an exit. When we run out to the streets we saw crowds of people all over, most of them probably running away from the buildings. Frankly speaking, I probably was the only one who felt almost nothing. When i saw people running towards the exit I asked Andrejs why everyone is running, maybe the bus came and they all run to take the best seat? However after few seconds I felt that the earth was shaking, but I still was not sure weather it was shaking because of spending four days in the ship (even today I feel the ground is shaking even if it's not) or it was shaking for real.
P.S.: thanks for all the comments, I am reading them, they all come to my email. Just there is no way for me to reply...
