Not on topic with the video, but I was curious about driving.

Do you drive in Japan? I'm guessing you have, so on that assumption, how awkward is it to drive opposite to the North American way?

By that I mean how the driver's seat is in the passengers seat for us and your on the wrong side of the road (or at least that's how it looks)

[BusanKevin]

Actually no, I don't. I do in Canada, but honestly, the concept of driving on the other side of the road seems freaky. I may in the future though. Luckily, public transit here is very convenient!

I was in Oakland CA during the Loma Prieta in 1989. A big stretch of double decker freeway collapsed, but that was built literally on filled-in land near the bay which they say turned to the consistency of oatmeal during the quake.

I was in my house at the time and I can tell you it's an unforgettable feeling to have the ground literally rolling under you for 20-30 seconds.

Wow. That is scary. I remember following that one on the news.

there will be a time in which we will practially not fear earthquakes anymore because especially in peak areas like japan there will be architecture like this all over the place

[BusanKevin]

I suppose so. Although Kobe was damaged so much in 1995, the new buildings were made very safely. Japanese engineers certainly know a lot about earthquake proofing buildings. Unfortunately, my apartment is pretty old :(

Please notice us if you find your Jewish friends evacuate from the Tokyo metropolitan area. Please make a lot of fuss on net. Our aim is to stop them from practicing their conspiracy, to make them giving up their plan of attacking Tokyo with artificial earthquakes. We won’t let them destroy Japan anymore!

If you find Jewish trying to evacuate from Tokyo,it could mean another artificial earthquake on Tokyo!

I do not discuss the detail for a while, but we can’t miss the fact that thousands of Jewish people then working at World Trade Center twin buildings, for some reason, kept themselves from the twin tower on that day when the 9/11 terrorist attack occurred, and none of them were victimized from the tragedy.

@DemocracynowChina Keep your head out of your Taiwanese ass when you're talking. Since your head is so full of shit, you better get yourself a brain transplant #LOL
