There I was in the bathtub of my hotel room watching Reservoir Dogs on my iPod. Suddenly I hear squeaking noises. And they somehow don’t seem to stop. Being a Curious George I got out of the bath tub and put on the bathrob. That’s when I start feeling it! I’m excited at first. Then the excitement turns into fear after I look out of the window and realise I’m on the 36th floor!!!
\O o/
I quickly put on my clothes and got out of the room. I caught the elevator (ya ya I know that’s not advised in times like these but it was the fastest way) and went straight down to the lobby to confirm if there indeed was an earthquake. I asked the bell captain if there was any news about an earthquake. “Yes sir” he replies with a smile, there was an earthquake but don’t worry it was just 6.9 and about 320 kms away from Tokyo.” Really?! Does the guy even know how far down the ground is from the 36th floor?! Guess these people are just used to it. After all Japan is the one of the most earthquake prone regions.
Japan travel tip: Never use the bath tub on the 36th floor of a hotel in Japan.
