Funnily enough, I was in the bathtub when the quake struck.

It was a lazy Friday. I had no classes, as it was the end of the year and most of the students were only going to school to attend their clubs. Therefore, I’d spent most of the day doing precisely nothing. I was taking a bath and reading and contemplating a run up to Maiya, the local supermarket.

When the quake hit, I was a little annoyed at first that my lovely bath had been interrupted. And then, as the quake got stronger and kept on going, I got scared. I grew up in Alaska and had just spent two and a half years in Japan; I know earthquakes. This one was different. A little voice at the back of my head started saying, “You need to get out. You need to get out NOW!”
