*hobbles into the Inn*
I'm fine, just fine, guys! The earthquake on the 11th was pretty hellacious, though. Thankfully, the area where I live here in Japan (Kuki City, Saitama prefecture) wasn't effected nearly as bad as the places up north. Also, with me living pretty far inland, I didn't have to worry about the tsunamis.
When all of that happened, though, I was just finishing up the work day at the school where I work. As I was sitting at my desk working on some lesson plans, everything just started shaking. At first, I didn't think too much of it because there are earthquakes here all the time. But it just kept on going. And going. It probably went on for nearly two to three minutes straight (at least! Maybe longer!). I'm a good distance away from where the epicenter was, but crap, those few minutes seemed like an eternity. After it stopped, we evacuated all of the students and stood around on the school grounds, which are away from anything that could potentially fall on us. But yeah. That was that.
The radiation, on the other hand, is the next real issue here. There are tons of foreigners that are leaving the country out of fear of the radiation. I, however, do not intend on leaving anytime soon. Why? Well, from everything that I've seen on the news, the radiation poses little threat to people living as far away as I am from the reactor (I live something like 250 miles away). From everything I've seen from Western media, I can't believe the amount of misinformation that is being crapped out. All it is doing is creating panic and fueling ignorance. A lot of the stuff you might see is f-ing BS.
But I'll stop with that right now. It's just good to stop by the good 'ol Inn for a pint.
