Japan News: SAPPORO -- Two powerful earthquakes struck Hokkaido early Friday, injuring nearly 450 people and sparking an industrial fire, as residents fled their homes in fear of aftershocks.
The first quake, which measured an estimated 8.0 on the Richter scale, hit at about 4:50 p.m. on Friday, meteorological officials said. It was followed by a major aftershock at 6:08 a.m. that measured 7.1 on the Richter scale.

Buildings crumbled in the earthquakes, resulting in the temporary closure of one airport and forcing about 20,000 people to evacuate their homes.

Authorities said 448 people were reported injured in Hokkaido as of 10 p.m. Friday with at least 22 of them in serious condition. Many of the injured victims were reportedly hit by falling objects.

Earthquakes, School, BBall, Toothaches

Didn't really feel any of the recent earthquakes. They're quite a ways away.

Same 'ol same 'ol @ school. Chatted w/Ha-san for a bit. Started off the conversation in Japanese but somehow it turned into English. She still amazes me on her ability in English.

Yesterday, since I was sore, I just hung out @ the orchestra practice. Kicked it with Takahashi sensei and Aono-kun. He was teaching Takahashi sensei how to practice the drum beats. Got to play a little piano...rusty as hell. The orchestra is practicing this new piece but I don't remember the name of it. I did get a chance to see Megumi-chan in action. She sure can jam on the violin.

Today got to teach the 7th grade electice english class. Went over a worksheet with them. It was hard to keep their attention the whole time...but it worked out in the end. Got a call from Hayashi-san from JAL, she told me that she received confirmation from SFO about my ticket. So I'll be going there tomorrow morning to get my ticket home!

Lately I've been having some major toothaches from my fillings. They never bothered me in the last two weeks so I don't know why and where all this pain is coming from. Probably the reason why I haven't been sleeping well.

Went to the dentist today to have some more work done and I complained about the pain. My dentist said to wait it out til Tuesday and he'll be able to fix it then.

Afterwards, I headed back to school to get my mind off my teeth to play some bball. Got there and saw that a lot of the 9th graders from both the girls and guys came back for an "All Star" scrimmage. I noticed Sasaki sensei playin' with the boys. He played for a bit before asking me to take over for him.

Came home today and went to my bedroom and was surprised to see that I had a little "guest". My first gokiburi in my apartment! I quickly wacked it and watched as it spun around on its back tryin' to get right side up. He got back up and tried to run...I swatted him again onto his back, then quickly swooshed him into a plastic bag. Then shook some sense into him and threw the corpse away.

Well...gonna go to bed. Gotta wake up early to go to Yurakucho and then afterwards I have a speech @ Futawa (wish me luck). I also need to get two new lightbulbs for my bathroom and sink area.

Kaz out...
