Lo and behold this turned up on my mobile telephone screen when we were about to leave the hotel the following morning….an earthquake alert…not that I understood much! Friends living close to Kyoto had suffered an earthquake. They had woken to see furniture slide all over the floor and a grand piano which crashed though a window onto the slopes outside. I shuddered. Surely we were not to experience the same event…the lights swayed a little. We were informed by the hotel that the earthquake was some way off. Signs are quite frequent for « Tsunami Danger ». I felt that Jerome’s remark was a pertinent one. What happens if you are in a ferry?
