Sorry I haven't been posting in a while, gotta get the motivation to do a huuuuge post one of these days. For now though, let's talk EARTHQUAKES! rofl.
Sunday night I heard a little grumbling and felt the apartment complex shaking a bit, kinda felt like a sumo wrestler ran through it really quickly, though if I had been up and aout I might not have noticed it. Apparently that was a 6.9 or 7.1 (depends on what country you ask -.-; ) earthquake off the coast near Tokyo, and could be felt like crazy in that city. I was kinda excited to feel my first earthquake, bu nothing to really write home about.
Then this morning at a little after 5am, I was awoken to a full-out shaking of the building. In my half-asleep state i scrambled with my blanket for the doorframe and hung on for the ride. Thinking back, the shaking wasn't so much that the roof would start collapsing or anything, but in my defense I wasn't awake yet. I heard something glass break in one of the other apartments near the end, but other than that everything was okay.
Because of that though, Anan-cho made the news!!! I just turned on the TV while the computer was booting up and they were showing damage done (big rocks fallen into roads, a concrete wall broken in half). Then they mentioned Shimojo (a village right next to me) and Anancho (my town) as well as other places in the area and showed damage from our area. National news, yeah!!
Breakfast is done, gonna eat and go grocery shopping, later!
So, in the US you have "mice" shaking your bed, and in Japan it is sumo wrestlers?
