If this house is rockin'....
...it must be an earthquake! Last night, around 2am our time, an earthquake occurred just off of one of the small islands to the east of Taiwan. Even though it was all the way across the island we still experienced some shaking here in Hsinchu. At the time I yelled at Adam for swinging his foot, which he vehemently denied. When the shaking continued (almost rocking, really) and the dogs started barking, we realized we were experiencing our first Taiwan earthquake. We quite calmly rode it out and drifted back to sleep.

Hi Devin and Adam,
Hang in there, I guess you never know what could happen in Taiwan. Did anything slide off a table or shelf?
Be careful,
Mom
Believe it or not, there was absolutely no physical evidence of the earthquake when we woke up the next morning. (at least on this side of the island...) It was such a non-occurrence that I didn't even remember that it had happened until my dad told me that he saw it on the news in Montana!
Hope things are going well where you are,
Devin
Dear Devin and Adam:
I am so relieved that there were no damages to anything in your part of the world, following the earthquake.
I am also happy that there have been no double endenders (sp?) posted on your blog in regards to the earthquake.
Dad.
