If it's one place I'd want an earthquake to hit while I'm there, it would be here.
I agree, man! I was in Japan -- Shizuoka and Tokyo -- in March 2011 and I saw the reactions to the earthquake in all different scenarios: on a train, in the airport, on a plane etc. and was really impressed how calm everyone was being. Kinda hard to panic and act like a dickhead when everyone around you is being so zen!
Indeed. Imagine if this scenario took place in the US? All the looting , all the chaos all the madness.
Hahah " Kinda hard to panic and act like a dickhead when everyone around you is being so zen!" Exactly. I learnt a lot about the Japanese during that period.
