Earthquake and Typhoon

Posted on July 23rd, 2007, by sam

Hi everyone!

After the earthquake that was in Niigata, I received a lot of concerned emails. We are OKAY! This earthquake was quite a ways from Kobe, so we didn’t feel it although some other teachers at different schools said they felt a very small aftershock.

Just 1 or 2 days before, there was quite a typhoon that went through the area as well. This was through us, but I didn’t really think it was all that bad. Our city is kind of protected by Mountains and another Island right in front of our port area which probably gets the grunt of the storms. But it was still my first typhoon!

For those of you who emailed, thanks for your concern!

Also, I can receive emails to my cell phone now for free. so you can email me at saminjapan07@ezweb.ne.jp

Here’s a pic from the earthquake (i did not take this)
