Also on the west side. Looks like a 5-something. You have my sympathy.

[Bikkuri]

I’m in Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture

It’s off the coast so you may have to worry about tsunami.

Incidentally, we have a spare bedroom here in my place if you and yours need an evac locale in the future. It’s actually in Kugayama, so we are safe from any flooding danger.

where?

[Ronin]

BTW, what are you still doing in bed at 0812 on a Tuesday morning! Sluggard! :-)

[Bikkuri]

I am pretty much on the highest ground (that I know of) in Chiba City... I think/hope that I won’t have to worry, unless there is a massive tsunami from the Tokyo Bay coast..

Thank you very much though... Stay safe and stay in touch with us!

Lol... actually, looking for a job :(
The public school system in the city I was working stops earlier and begins later every year... Probably won’t be able to hook a job until the end of this month (and getting worried; my 3 year VISA expires on the 29th of May, so it makes finding a good job that much more difficult).

I have peen losing hair because of this for 10 years now.. I think I need to get out of education :p Any job offer? ;)
