After a long time of cloudy/unclear sky nights, I've seen a beautiful starry night in Tokyo. I guess this is what I love about winter nights.
I've counted more than 50 stars, including Orion's belt, which is rare in downtown Tokyo. 50 is not a big number from where I come but when you feel homesick it's a quite good number :) This good news in one hand, but in the other, we've felt 2 long earthquakes in less than 3 hours :(
I know I used to enjoy the small eqs when I was in Osaka, but these are too many and I kinda start worrying about a BIG one like they predict. So far I put down all the heavy stuff near the floor level and made sure to put my lantern and emergency canned food somewhere I can reach easily. I also cleaned up my messy room, so in case of a catastrophe the ones who have to rescue me can find me immediately. Otherwise they would have to dig into a real mess (they'd think that my room was affected not only by an eartquake, but also a bomb, a typhoon and some civil war!).
Anyways, I found a good reason to organize things around here.
