Earthquake!




The earthquake left my carbon monoxide detector in the sink! It fell from the wall above the sink.

We just experienced a fairly violent feeling earthquake. I was on the second floor of my house so it felt a little worse than it actually was. The second floor of our house has a lot of loose window panes that shake with the wind and shake even worse with an earthquake!

We're all okay though and there's been no tsunami warning issued.



In other news, we're going to the beach tomorrow for my birthday!! John and I went to a Japanese store to buy our bathing suits since we don't have our clothes yet and didn't pack bathing suits. The America base is completely sold out of bathing suits.

In this Japanese store, all women's bathing suits came in one size, a Japanese M, which you would think stands for medium, but no. It's probably the equivalent of a US size 3 or 1. Luckily I fit into the one I chose although it's a wee bit small.

We're going to a resort area away from the main base and it's supposed to be beautiful! I plan to take lots of pictures.

That's all from this side of the world for now!
