Tsunami Attack

~As you may have heard on the news, there was a tsunami warning in Japan after a magnitude 8.1 earthquake hit some islands to the Northeast. Fortunately for me, I'm on the other side of the main island (i.e, "the other side of the tracks"), so everything was fine over here. Besides, I'm not even on the coast! The only disruption here was a tsunami monopoly dominating the evening news.

^ When it hit, the tsunami was only ~16 inches high; enough to beach a few boats and scare some Russians, but otherwise insignificant. Actually, more damage was done in Hawaii and California, thousands of kilometers away, than was done in Japan.

On a lighter note, here is some Japanglish I ran across in Okinawa on the wall outside a nightclub. Enjoy:

SUN, SEA AND STARRY SKY.
SOUTHERN ISLAND,
THE VOICE AT WHICH IT LAUGHS
TODAY HAS BEEN FILLED
IN THE SOPHISTICATED SPACE,
LET'S DO A HAPPY SPEAKING.
SO, SPECIAL TIME TO YOU.

~Special Time to You!
