Year 2- Kidney Problems
Year 3- The Biggest earthquake
Well our day started out so fun... It had been so cold that week and then on Friday it was absolutely beautiful. So we were SO excited! We decided to go shopping, a great lunch and then to Disneyland that night... in my mind it was a just a perfect day!!
haha boy was i ever wrong! We were going on a boat cruise from one of the shopping areas to a another, when we were trying to dock our boat the driver kept ramming the side of the dock. We didn't have a clue why he didn't just park the dumb boat so we could get off and catch the other one that would take us to the mall ... But when looked over at the mall and saw a big black cloud of smoke, in that area is Disneyland and behind it is an airport so we thought well maybe one of the plains had crashed.. We didn't have a clue. When we finally got off the boat we were told that there was just a large earthquake and that we needed to get away from the water because they were very worried about a tsunami hitting. At this point we grabbed a cab and headed for home... while we were on our way home the first huge after shock hit... I felt like i was back on the boat rocking back and forth... People were running out of there buildings, everyone was on the streets. 
We finally made it back to our apartment... First problem.... The elevator is our front door, and once the earthquake hit none of them work anymore so we had to take the stairs all the way up every time. Second problem.... our cute house was TRASHED. You would just walk from one room to the other shaking your head. Pictures were ripped, dishes broken, and so many other problems. It was unbelievable the damaged that happened in an amount of a few minutes.
The day was a very unrealistic, all the subways had closed and there were people stranded EVERYWHERE. They slept outside and ate out of the mini marts. People started to worry about running out of food due to the fact that they couldn't get trucks in because the roads were so packed. There was after shocks one right after another. You felt like you were getting sea sick cause you constantly were shaking. My cousin kyle had been at school when the earthquake hit. They loaded the bus at 4 pm to get them home, they didn't get home till 12:15 am.
The days following were not close to normal, stores were closed, people still everywhere. Then we started worrying about radiation and black outs. Japans problems were fare from over! I saw how strong the Japanese people were, they, they worked together and they never gave up! I am so amazed at the strength that they have as a country!
