yeah on the anniversary it dawned on me suddenly (after saturday night's partying) as i was sitting in the niigata eki waiting room for the first (actually-2nd morning train to shibata) i realized that this was the same place we went directly after the ground shook in furamachi. of course all the trains were cancelled and everyone was sitting in the waiting room, watching the big screen of the events.
a year. crazy, eh?
yah sometimes i wonder if i'll be mentally scared for ages from this thing. When I was in Hawaii (no earthquakes there) I was in a parking lot and a truck went by and I still look around like I'm about to get tossed.
Anyway, post those pumpkin pics!
