After the Earthquake 地震後 Jishin Go (PART 1)

When the earthquake happened, I was in my room surfing the internet.. It started slowly and I thought it was fine since I`ve experienced it before but when it got stronger, I left my room. Scary.. and sometimes when I think about it, the feeling of unsafe and worrying all the time will come back to me.. Until now, small earthquake (or can I still call it aftershocks?) still occur.

In this entry, I just want to share what I had to face after the big earthquake,
Well, when it happened, electricity, water and phone line was cut off.. Got back electricity and water at around 2am on 13th March.

We were asked by the dorm manager to stay at the dining room and candles was not allowed in our rooms.

Then, representative from International Centre came and we were given free dinner,

Since it was so cold in the dorm, we were also asked to warm ourselves at the nearby Daiei. We saw how bad the earthquake was on TV,

After electricity went back, we still can't use the lift..

With all the aftershocks, I decided to sleep at the dining room with my friend..
Even though damages was minimum in Shiki, it brought many inconveniences..

Around RUID Shiki RUID志木の周囲 RUID Shiki No Shuui

I think RUID Shiki is situated on a very strategic spot.. The 2 most visited places near RUID Shiki is Daiei department store and Big A convenience store..

Daiei's supermarket held 2 sales weekly, on Thursday and Sunday.. Chicken eggs will be so cheap during the sale (only 98yen for 10, usual price is 198yen) but it's only limited to 500packs per day. So, in order to buy it, I have to wake up early..
Next, Big A - Discount Foods. I don't know how they managed to sell things at quite a low price.. For example, 500ml Coke is only 86yen instead of 98yen in Daiei and Skippy's Peanut butter is only 329yen there instead of 399yen in Daiei.. I also buy bread from Big A, priced at only 79yen for 8pieces,

Okashi No Machioka, name of a shop selling snacks, candies, chocolates, biscuits. Located near Shiki station and in front of a bookshop called Ayumi Books.. Sometimes on the way back to my dorm, I will intentionally pass this shop just the check out what is the promotion of the day.. I will usually buy Bourbon's Alfort Mini Chocolate or Calbee's Usushio Potato Chips there.. :)
