today at 12:55pm there was a pretty big earthquake in tokyo. It was a 5.5 on the richter scale. it wasn't like it was that powerful...it was just really long. It lasted atleast 30 seconds. What scared me was the fact that it stopped for a second, then started up again twice as strong as when it started. That scared the shit outta me. I was at work...everyone just grabbed onto something thinking it was the big one. People here are just waiting for a big earthquake to hit tokyo. So the way this one was they all thought this was it.

Right after it Miho called me to see if i was ok haha...Being a New Yorker I am not used to them quite yet...i think they are cool...but not the one today. The last two have been pretty big and scary...

Miho starts teaching on monday...she is happy. I am stayin in tonite (saturday) and i stayed in last night too. I am tired...Tuesday is a national holiday...so Monday night we party...
