Earthquakes and other midnight alarms
Last week was my first earthquake. I had been thinking a lot about earthquakes since the one in Japan induced by nuclear testing in North Korea. But when it happened, it wasn't as fun as I remember. It kind of made me feel like throwing up.
At first I thought I was just feeling ill from writing my essays for grad school applications. But my hanging plants were swinging like pendulums. Wang Laoshi said there was definitely no earthquake, but the next day the newspaper said it was a 5.5 about 100 miles off the coast of Taiwan.
There was also a tiny lizard on my bedroom walls. Unlike the cockroaches, I tolerate the lizards, which are cute and small and alarmingly fast. They're like pets you never have to feed. Sort of...
[Michael would also like me to say that all these pictures are taken by him]

Is this a picture of YOUR door? That's a fancy door. I think I remember walking past that door in an alleyway behind the school. That can't be your door then because there's no way that is Heping Dong Lu..

Great picture Michael. I meant to take one like that. You wouldn't mind if I borrowed it for my album of pictures taken by me in Taiwan??
