11th March 2011
I came back to Tokyo this morning from Bali.
after returning to my home, I took a shower and
checked e-mail in my PC. I wore a bathroab.
at the first moment, I felt a little shaking and
then I shut down my PC and went to the door
quickly. The earthquake was little by little harder.
I sat down a corridor near the door and thought
that this earthquake was really big. The shaking
was long…. At the moment the earthquake
stopped, I quickly called to my husband and
confirmed his safe. I felt relieved.
After the first earthquake, I felt after shocks
many times. I opened the door and windows ,
and changed into my clothes. My some
neiborhood was outside and we talked about this
being a really big one and we had to be care for
a while.
At my home, some plates slipped down and
broken, and CD shelf were all fell down and a lot
of CDs. I heard that from radio new Tohoku had a
big earthquake. I dind’t talk to my mother and
father on the phone, so I send a e-mail to my
mom by mobilephone, also I didn’t connect my
husband on the phone, so I called to my mother
in low who lives in Okinawa. I asked her to
send a message to my husband. He called to
her in Okinawa, so I could his message.
I wanted to go to Shibuya for him by my car,
but he decided to come back to home by bicycle.
After all his decision was really right.
Because all train stopped running, on the road
there was crowded people.
Two hours later, finally he came back ! I was
really happy to see him. My husband told me
that so many people walked on the main streets
and they felt nervous, so he choose and run on
the small streets where weren’t famous. We
sometimes run by our bike these streets, that
experience was useful.
In my house area the gas was stopped, so we
went to a near restaurant. When we entered
the restaurant, we felt relax, because the staff
worked as usual.
