Earthquakes and Tsunamis

Japan is one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world. Geological instability causes around 1,000 tremors in the country each year, although many of these go undetected by the public.

And after one month in Japan, I had my first earthquake experience this week: 6.8 on Richter scale.

At this time you realize how much Japanese are used to that. It is natural and part of their daily lives. As it is something you cannot prevent or predict, they make sure that buildings are constructed with all the security requirements to go trough an earthquake and they also keep people informed on how to behave in the case of a disaster.

But the little things are the best part...
