Earthquake

Saturday, January 20th,

Around 9 pm, I experienced an unusual feeling. I felt the house shaking for a brief moment. Yes, I experienced my first earthquake. The epicenter was on the eastern side of the Korean peninsula. Seoul is close to western edge. Don't get too worried. The earthquake was 4.8 on the Richter scale, so it wasn't too strong. I have been told that they are a rare occurrence even if we are in close proximity to Japan. On the news, Mrs. Kim said that has been 30 years since Korea has felt such an earthquake of this magnitude.
