The earthquake in Japan

I’m fine here, and my families and friends as well. My place is several-hundred kilometer far from the earthquakes. There are not any serious damages around my area. However I felt the quake when it happened. I was working at my desk and holding a cup of green tea in my hand. First I thought I got dizzy but I kept feeling the dizzy for a while. And I noticed it was an earthquake. The quake was different from ordinary ones. The quake was like slowly swinging, not like shaking. The feeling was like being in a big ship.
Every TV stations in Japan are now broadcasting news about the earthquakes all day long. The severe damages at the area became more apparent one day later. I’m deeply troubled by the news. I heard that many countries are offering their disaster relief teams or relief goods. I really appreciate the kind and prompt helps from other countries. Thank you.
