Finally I got home, it is almost midnight. What a long trip it was. Why? The train schedules in Tokyo are still messed up by the earthquake. It was big one and some would think finally "IT HAS COME". When it happened, I was in a train, so I did not sense anything. But the trained stopped suddenly and the train conductor said "We had an earthquake and now we got an order to stop..."
But I did not think it was so big or serious. So I went to Hakkeijima Sea paradise. Dolphins are so beautiful and wonderful. And I understand they have a power to heal people. Hakkeijima Paradise has some funny dolphin plans, dolphin wedding and one night stay at dolphin dome. I don't need them but one night stay in dome would be interesting. Now my wallpaper of PC has changed from We will rock you to white whale. I enjoyed the aquarium, dolphins (now I enjoyed it more than when I was a kid. It was not "surprise type"of enjoyment. It was just "healing" type of enjoyment.) and fireworks on the sea. My friend recorded interesting video, beruga is so smart and they enjoy to cheat people. Look at this, they did it on purpose to see peope surprised. (I updated it file site), the Roller Coaster ruined it all (It made me sick, I hate Roller Coasters). Anyway Hakkeijima Paradaise is an enjoyable place which is not so far from Tokyo.
When I returned to home, trains were still messed up and it took long time to home. I checked for damage in my apartment. Only a little frog had fallen from around the entrance door. What? Why do I leave that there? It is a little feng shui idea which I took. Anyway this was my long dolphin and earthquake day.
Haha! That beluga was so funny!! What a surprise everyone got... I just had to watch it several times.

Hi there
I add beluga film. It was very cute beluga.
Please check it out. Anyway regarding to feng shui, I am not a big feng shui fan. But some part can match qi or just old wisdom. So I take some easy one.

I was teaching when the earthquake struck. Everthing around me was shaking but nothing around me toppled over. It scared the crap out of me because this was the first earthquake I've felt that lasted more than 2 seconds. Luckily, my Japanese students calmed me down..=p
