Really strange experience last night when things started to sway. Turns out the cause was an earthquake in Indonesia and not the Delirium Tremens I thought I might be suffering from. Rather nasty hangover on Sunday and I thought the after effects were still troubling me. First time I felt something like that and it was quite odd; a giddy sensation rather than an awareness of swaying. Talking to my brother, on IM, back home, he likened the sensation to what he felt during the bombing of Staples Corner (London) when he lived nearby.
The number of people who have now died is becoming tragic and scary. The feeling one is left with, having experienced a hint of the power communicated over such a great distance, is both frightening and saddening. When I first learned of the earthquake this morning, thus explaining the strange sensation of the previous night, it was a novelty; another new experience in Asia. The day goes on and you learn that hundreds have died.
Don’t need to write anything else.
