zonnige groetjes uit shinagawa

and shaky greetz from shinagawa... heaviest earthquake for me so far, shaking me up this morning at 5 o'clock. simply no way to get used to those creepy surprizes... in magnitude not as strong as the one in niigata last fall, but significantly closer, in ibaraki prefecture, just an hour by train northeast from tokyo. appetizer to the big one locals are expecting? there's something like the 70 years rule for big earthquakes, and the last one was in 1923.
