soo... the typhoon is coming ( sorta) I don't really believe it's going to head this way.. but we sure have had some strong winds.( about 30 with gusts to 60MPH). As this weekend was the Moon Festival ( described to me to be like Thanksgiving... big family get together) so the campus was empty. So as we all were hanging out on a Saturday night ( with heavy winds).. we get an Earthquake. it was centered a few hundred miles away but we still got a nice shake. We got another earthquake on Sunday night when we were watching a movie.
It is strange to be sitting and the couch just starts to shake... you kinda look around at the other people who are kinda tired and not sure if it was an earthquake or just the guy behind them kicking the couch.
It sure is nice that the typhoon system brought rain which has cooled down the temperature (FINALLY!!). With all the hype of the typhoon, it was important to stock up on food soo, I stopped out picked up some Ramen ( it's a lot better over here), and fruit. the Fruit over here is amazing, ... Dragon fruit... Guava... Water apples... ALL IS GOOD. Soo now i've got food everywhere... No complaints.
so, did you get any sort of pamplet with earthquake info? like, do you go stand in a door? stay in a tall building? get out????
ReplyDeletemy Teacher in my Mandarin class instructed us... if your in a tall building, move toward Pipes/ plumbing... Apartments move toward refrigerator, in case you get stuck, at least you'll have food. As we only had small tremors i still don't feel like I'd be ready for anything major ( we are about 100 miles from the epicenter).
