地震

SENDAI, Japan - A powerful earthquake shook northeastern Japan on Tuesday, triggering landslides, sending a shower of ceiling debris into a crowded indoor swimming pool and shaking skyscrapers as far away as Tokyo. At least 59 people were reportedly injured.

The 7.2-magnitude quake, centered about 50 miles off the coast of Miyagi state, knocked out power to about 17,000 homes, while high-speed train services in northern Japan were suspended and flights were temporarily grounded at Haneda airport in Tokyo, 185 miles to the south. (Yahoo NEWS)



seriously today's earthquake was unbelievable. i thought for a moment that it came to tokyo and all these images of buildings tumbling down rushed thru my head. fortunately tho, nobody in the city was hurt. I was in the 自習室of Ｚ会 when it came and cuz i was on the 6th floor, the builiding shook pretty bad. i just grabbed my purse and cell phone just in case we were told to flee lol.

actually a lot of ppl probably thought it came to tokyo cuz everyone was pretty panicky. i can laugh abt it now but like the guy next to me was totally freaking out and kept saying ”やばいよ。やばいって。まじやばいよ。” over and over. the last time an earthquake came to tokyo was 1923 which means its already 82 years. n i'm pretty sure that a big one will have to come soon. i just hope that i'm not on the subway. i would hate to die underground.

anyway, afterwards, i shopped (yay!)

and i went to see Waseda w/優先生 and 磯村. Even tho i went to the OC on the 31st it was too crowded so i didn't really get to see what the college was really like. So, she showed us around the campus and everything. it was great. we even got to go inside the huge library ( like its the 3rd biggest in Japan or sth) with her student ID. and thus, i enjoyed being a　Waseda Student for 5 minutes 笑
