Amanda Takes Off...

I just tried to order food over the phone. We'll see if it gets here. If it does, this will be a major feat as a) I just learned how today from Michael and b) I had to repeat myself at least twice on everything.

While I'm waiting, this building is across the street from Michael's apartment building. I'm curious about it; I was surprised to see such a dilapidated building in Michael's area of the city.

Alright! Less than 15 minutes and I had my food! Notice the real plates? The food is delivered on real plates, along with some chopsticks. When you're done, you simply leave the dishes outside of your door. The second photo shows the sweet and sour sauce. I was holding the bowl vertically when I took that picture. The food was so well-wrapped I had a hard time getting the plastic wrap off.

While I was chowing down (sitting on the floor), I felt some shaking.

I wondered what had happened but couldn't find anything on the big earthquake sites. At 9:16, 9:26, and 9:46 I got some "Aired Messages" about it on my handphone. I love the "Aired Message" system; they send out messages about weather or natural disasters, albeit entirely in Korean. The messages confirmed that at 2056 there was a 4.8 magnitude earthquake on the east coast.

My first earthquake!
