Earthquakes
I've felt more earthquakes in the last week than all the time I've been in Japan. The initial earthquake last weekend rattled this apartment quite impressively. Over 30 people dead and thousands of people still living in temporary shelter in Niigata.
A man near the epicenter was being interviewed by phone live on TV when the first aftershock happened. He shouted in shock, 10 or 20 seconds later the tremor reached the Tokyo newsroom and seconds afterwards the lamp shades in our apartment were swinging.
And if you think that's scary, how about this?
We'll be making an earthquake kit this weekend.
