It seem passed two months since the double incident of the event in Japan. First it was double natural disaster then later with the nuclear disaster after the monster wave.
Those were moment of the incidents that could be only being affect on both people in Japan as well as others from over the world.
I just remember something when I was in Hokkaido, Japan for the 10 day trip back then before event. I was with my aunt and younger sister of mine for the holiday trip. Although it was wonderful trip that we had so far expect of on the 6th day, that was a horrible of earthquake in Noburu.Usually people in the city don't feel any earthquak during the periode of time in March. This was my first time having the experience in Japan while on oversea trip. Anyway, I'm not joking...... And this was how it happens:
After the trip to Noburu, we went off to hotel to settel before going out to the Enroji Village by bus. At the village, there were many houses built back then in 1600s and there were excited places to visit including the ninja house, hunter shine(that's the cat shine mind you....) an ever hunter house filled with tales of ghost and monsters. And ever had the thearthe play at play house. But during the play, there was fishing going on in the play house. At first the lights that went on and off all the time was part of the show, I guess. Then few minutes later, everyone in the house had to move out from the thearther which was a cause of earthquake. Wow.... that was horrible. Later, we went out for lunch as I was hungry. But the food stalls were all closed expect other shops. Oh dear, I had to have lunch late with instead noodle. And we went stop by at the shop that sells sweets and crackers. And the lady in the shop was really nice, she served us a cup of drink for each. Hmmmm....... how wonderfully was that? Then the earthquake came back and we were terrible in shaking..... Oh crape.
And this doesn't seem to end yet.... When we returned to the hotel room, and had lunch quite late, there was a news broadcast about the earthquake. And I had a feeling that there might be a tsumati on the way if the earthquake hits under the ocean bed.So following day, we had to get bus to Sapporo, the capital of Hokkdio.
Bad news, we just missed the bus as the train station had shut down due to the earthquake(Oh great thanks alot....crape!!).So we had no choice but to wait a taxi or stay another night which my sister didn't seem really like it. Luckily, we got the taxi and headed down to Sapporo. And guess what, he gave us a good price, 3000 yen for the trip down the road. Because of the earthquake, I think people were very concern about others which was very worry of course. But we were having a good time in Sapporo for three days. On the last day, we went out to the airport by afternoon as we had to catch plane to the Tokyo airport. While waiting for the entrance, I bought some goodies for my father's friend who he works as a full time volunteer of the mobile aid centre. By then we left by plane from Hokkdio to Tokyo after 15 minutes or so. And reached there for trafer. But almost got lost as we dropped by at the wrong station.We quickly got into another bus to the another station meant for international figlth. When we were reached to the gate, there were many people waiting for their plane to be taken off. And we had our dinner just before the departure time. Just sudden, there was a earthquake hit at the airport and was shaking very violate way. And ever made children very scare. Thank god, it took for a while before clear out the earthquake. I wonder how others were doing? Anyway, we just made it back home by earily morning at the Changie Airport.
Some how I wouldn't forget about the moment of earthquake in Japan. It just for passed two months seem quite uneasy for me ever when I see the news more often after the incident. And ever if I asked myself why I'm very lucky to be home safe knowing that this little country has nothing to experience any natural disaster expect of the flood and bad weather these days....
That is why I'm not complain about all bad services expect of bad teast in food from foodcourt. So be thankful for being safe country. I should have known better. This is a rare lesson for me from people in Japan. I guess I should lean some throughful for others. This trip was the second for me. The first trip was back then two years ago during Chinese New Year period. I will come back soon in near future. Thank you Japan, thank you Hokkdio! X)
