I recall being on 10th floor of Shinkong Department store by Taipei main station back in 2003 when an earthquake hit. The missus and I mossied to the stairwell and watch the locals keep on shopping.

Where's your Subway in Taipei?

I only saw the stars moving. Like your resturaunt though. :] (btw how did it feel?)

Jesus Christ! Look at it! Thank God no one got killed!

It's hilarious reading some of the comments on hear. No, it's not the 'wind' or the 'AC'. For one thing this happened in the middle of the night when all windows are closed and the front security gate is down, so it's impossible to wind to come through the store. Second, the AC is turned off at night, but in any case when the AC is on the fan blows continuously. And finally, neither the AC nor the wind has ever been strong enough to get our hanging lamps to sway; try it yourself and see.

was this video taken at the same place as the earth quake? :)

[miker555]

Oh the AC just kicked on..

[Nightangel206]

What the hell...that was nothing

[kggoh]

Just wind. not earthquake.

o(∩_∩)o...yeah

[FrostfoxFilms]

This video is so action packed! I love it!

[regandarcy]

Hey, I'm glad your restaurant is ok. But I have to say, not a very "Dramatic" video. With a title like "EARTHQUAKE" I was expecting the tables and chairs to at least start moving. The stars moved alittle...but I wasn't like WOW...and EARTHQUAKE! It could have been the wind or a ceiling fan causing them to sway for all I knew.

But again...glad your store is ok. :-)

This Earthquake scared the crap out of me. I had only been in Taipei for about 2 weeks on my foreign exchange when my room began to shake like crazy ( I live on the 9th floor of an apartment building) then my host mom ran in and told me to get into the door way. then everything stopped shaking so hard and we were just rocking back and forth for about 15-20 seconds...i guess it was just the building moving. One hell of a way to start a year in Taiwan :)

[Jaemann]

Funny. I could swear walls were coming down and windows were breaking. That's what happens when they start while I'm still dreaming, haha.

I can hardly see any movement!? I kinda live across the street though, from this Subway near Xingtiangong (right?).. a 2 minute walk. I was making a phonecall at the time of the quake. It was scary.

[jimlick]

Yeah, it apparently wasn't that big down on the ground floor, but up on the 5th floor at home it seemed pretty damn big. But even there the actual movement wasn't that big, it's just a bit disconcerting to have your whole building moving no matter how small the movement is.
