Back home

Starting to get back on track with the time change, but our sleep patterns are jacked right now.

A few more things about Japan before moving on to other stuff:

The big earthquake was on the west coast about 100 miles from us, but we did feel it. Several minutes of a 7 storey building swaying is kind of unnerving to say the least.

One of the things that made the earthquake so bad was that a major typhoon had just hit southern Japan, totally hammering the south islands of Kyushu and Shikoku, where we had just been.

Unfortunately for those up north such as ourselves, the Typhoon brought crappy weather in the form of a bunch of hard rain for several days. The main concern near the epicenter was landslides and sinkholes.

Earfshaky!
