Shopping was never really a thing for me...until I got to Japan. One can find things here - that 2 minutes prior, ya didn't even know existed - and you suddenly feel you can't live without anymore. Malls, shopping centers, stores, supermarkets, so big and packed with useful stuff. And what's more; decent quality and very fair prices. I strongly feel that the Japanese people don't get - at all, shafted, like the people in Europistan do - by their government.
Apart from Switzerland, it must be the only place where tax money seems to be spent more wisely too.
My shopping sprees are mainly focussed on buying antiques for the house. And my Antiques man in Mobara gives me ridiculous low prices for amazing items. Quite a joy to be able to fill your house with various items, most over a hundred years old - for the price of a decent meal.
Regarding seismic activity of the last few days:
Although, I think - I couldn't feel any of the quakes that have been occuring over the last days - I have sensed "something" different. At some point the lampshades were slightly going a bit back and forth though...
Over the last few days my phone nearly suffered from constipation due to all the alerts and warnings it received.
I did, however - pack a backpack with a set of extra clothes, water, torch, food, etc. - one never knows.
Apparently, one has approximately around ten minutes, after a quake - to get to higher ground. Then the tsunami comes. And I'm way to close to the ocean here to feel comfortable, should that occur.
Be safe - wherever you are. 🙏
