Still quite a few aftershocks, after a while, I only felt dizzy. The anxiety seemed to die away because the nerves had been numbed. A beautiful Saturday it was, not quite sure what to do since my friend cleverly made her way to Haneda airport waiting for the flight back to Taipei. I went running, since there is nothing urgent for me to do, I spent long time to jog to Asakusa. Visiting temples and feeling the tranguil atomoshpere might be just what I need after the previous day's unresting mind.
After the jog, going grocery shopping and took a nap. I was woken by a phone call from a colleague. She was really concerned about the nuclear plant blast. So I switched on TV while talking to her, um, the TV was just showing the first explosion of Fukushima Daiichi plant. Oh well, that's scary. But I still didn't understand why she was so nervous. "Radiation leak! Joey, radiation!". Ah, that's why. She asked if she should go now becuase it might be hard to leave when every foreigner in Tokyo starts to move. I have no plan to go anywhere, so I said to her if you feel so stressed that you cannot eat, cannot sleep, you'd better go.
She flew out the next day. At the same time, I got skyped by another colleague. I typed my opinion to her. She flew out the very day. I guess my manager is going to hate me for that.
Still nonstop aftershocks, I have TV on constantly and can hear the emergency blink blink sound all the time. Somewhere in Ibaraki-ken, somewhere in Shizuoka, somewhere is Nagano, magnitute ranging from 3 to 6. I cannot be bothered, went to bed sleeping like a baby.
But I have my survival bag packed, with my passport, wallet, a bottled water, fleshlight, candies, just in case I have to run out the building, I hope I have enough money to get by for a while.
