i grew up in california and never actually felt an earthquake until i came here! really weird! everyone else would always feel them and for some reason i would just never notice.

but in taiwan there have been like 4 really obvious earthquakes in the past few months. i wonder if it is just because i spend more time in tall buildings here.

they are fun! but if you tell that to anyone who was here in 1999, or is from kobe, they will kind of look at you funny.

tip i learned: if there's an earthquake, open the door for some reason

i think the doorway thing is actually so if the door frame gets compressed the door won't be sealed shut

but they always just do it after the earthquake anyway, i guess its in case there is another one in the next few minutes or something

it just seems like a superstition the way it happens with such regularity
