Excellent photos, my friend! I would've loved to experience this earthquake preparedness event :D Down here, there aren't many natural disasters, except forest fires and floods due to corruption or negligence. We joke that nature spares us most her wrath since we've had more than plenty manmade disasters during communism...

Thanks B! Some first-class simulations there - the videos were great. Hope the bruises to your noggin have healed up - haha!. Also impressed by the newspaper slippers with the secret pocket for your TV guide. Excellent.

I immediately wonder what happens if the earthquake simulator gets caught in an actual earthquake.

This is a fun way to learn preparedness for such a disaster. It's not a bad idea at all.

And it really took no time at all to learn basic safety and preparedness.

Sounds like they made a fun experience out of something that everyone learns for that special day when it actually happens. There's a big idea in development there. Combine Escapology with Preparedness day and you have an epic ARG people can actually participate in rather than play through a console.

Yes! These things tend to be so serious. Let's flip that!

I hadn't either, AND SLIPPERS (which are easier), and now, I'm like... do these come in Vans?

Japanese tables are too small for westerners to fit under!

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, you know my pain. Or to sit at, work at, do... anything at?

Yes, my legs never fit under them because I'm too tall, so it's usually better to sit on the floor!

I can't sit on the floor anyhow, but yeah, I was never able to fit under a table either.
