7.0M Earthquake
About 6:27 by my watch there was a huge earthquake. I have never felt such a big earthquake since about 6 months after l arrived in Japan and was staying with Masako's parents. At the time I just thought it was some strong wind cause the window shutters were shaking and raddling. This one measured 7 in northeastern Japan and about 4 here, but did not seem to cause any major damage. for you viewing pleasure here are some photos and videos of the English NHK broadcast I just watched. Now I gotta get some food in me. Video is here 1.7MB 2.2MB 5.1MB 13.6MB
Error 404 File not found - tried it and this is what i got.

The proper URLs are http://www.vudeja.com/video/ rather than http://www.vudeja.com/blog/video/

Do all japanese tv programs look so cartoon-like? I love it...it looks like a video game :)
Im glad you hear your o.k, I cant begin to imagine how scary that must be.

Japanese TV does use alot of graphics and animation in it. It is very common during an interview or variety show to subtittle everything a guest says during the entire show. At first I thought Japanese have very bad hearing but then realized the subtittles are just used to spice up the show and make it look more flashy. then there is the cute factor but lets save that for another time.
