Earthquake

Hi! Just a quick update today.
Thank you for those who sent me a message and twitter..I really appreciate your concern! I'm okay, safe and at home now. I was out with my friend for lunch when the earthquake happened. We just got off the elevator to go outside, and I was so glad that we got off, because otherwise I would have stuck in elevator for hours...
It was really scary and so far the biggest earthquake I've ever experienced in my life.

All the trains and subways were (and still are) stopped, so I walked home. I stopped by at convenience store to use bathroom and noticed that some people stole stuff from the store. Bread, make up products etc were missing, and convenience stores here are never ill-stocked like that! People must have taken some stuff when the lights were out and security cameras were off. What a shame!
