We suffered the biggest earthquake in Japan for many centuries. For Japanese people an earthquake is not rare, but for most of people from overseas, it is an unusual thing, and there are many overseas students and teachers in Obilin University. So we interviewed two people from abroad about March 11th earthquake to see what they thought.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>[Interview from Shutaro]<\/p>\n<p>Shutaro: Hi there! Today I will interview to people from overseas about March 11<sup>th<\/sup> earthquake.<\/p>\n<p>S: Hi!<\/p>\n<p>Man: Hello!<\/p>\n<p>S: Hello. Can I ask you some questions?<\/p>\n<p>M: Sure.<\/p>\n<p>S: What is your name please?<\/p>\n<p>M: My name is Peter.<\/p>\n<p>S: Where are you from?<\/p>\n<p>M: I come from Scotland.<\/p>\n<p>S: What are you doing in Japan?<\/p>\n<p>M: I\u2019m working as an English teacher.<\/p>\n<p>S: How long have you stayed in Japan?<\/p>\n<p>M: I\u2019ve stayed in Japan for about 15 years.<\/p>\n<p>S: Today, I\u2019ll ask you about March 11<sup>th<\/sup> earthquake.<\/p>\n<p>M: Okay, sound interesting.<\/p>\n<p>S: Have you suffered an earthquake in your country?<\/p>\n<p>M: No I haven\u2019t. Scotland is very safe country for earthquakes, but I\u2019ve lived in Japan for 15 years, so I have experience of some earthquake in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>S: Where were you when it was March 11<sup>th <\/sup>?<\/p>\n<p>M: March 11<sup>th<\/sup> I was in a coffee shop in Machida, working on my computer.<\/p>\n<p>S: What did you do at that time?<\/p>\n<p>M: Just before the earthquake happens, I was drinking coffee and typing essay on my computer.<\/p>\n<p>S: How did you feel while the earthquake happened?<\/p>\n<p>M: Well, when the earthquake begun, I didn\u2019t think it was a big problem, big deal, so I didn\u2019t feel anything, as usual, (couldn\u2019t hear clearly) normally earthquakes happens you become use to them in Japan, but after about 1minute, the earthquake got little stronger and one man said that if the windows break in the coffee shop, (couldn\u2019t hear clearly) dangerous because it\u2019s big grass windows, so everybody moved same time to wall the door, and just as we are moving, the earthquake became a lot stronger.<\/p>\n<p>S: This is the last question, when a big earthquake happens again, what will you do first?<\/p>\n<p>M: I (couldn\u2019t hear clearly) do the same thing, which is wait and see (couldn\u2019t hear clearly), and wait and see what thing start break or not, and then I\u2019ll move to walls open ground as fast as I can, and I will look up!<\/p>\n<p>S: Thank you very much, Perer!<\/p>\n<p>M: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>[Interview from Rika]<\/p>\n<p>Rika: what your name?<\/p>\n<p>Doya: My name is Doya.<\/p>\n<p>Rika: Ok, Doya. I&#8217;ll ask you five questions about on March 11th. Have you ever suffered an earthquake in your country?<\/p>\n<p>Doya: No, I\u2019ve never suffered the earthquake in my country.<\/p>\n<p>Rika: Where were you, when it was March 11th?<\/p>\n<p>Doya: I was in Sendai when it was March 11th. I suffered the earthquake as soon as I got off a train.<\/p>\n<p>Rika: What did you do at that time?<\/p>\n<p>Doya: I looked for a safe place and stayed there with my friends until an earth tremor became slight. And we wanted to come back by train but trains stopped running then. So we had to walk to my friend\u2019s house for three hours.<\/p>\n<p>Rika: How did you feel while the earthquake happened?<\/p>\n<p>Doya: I felt a little fearful when I suffered. And I didn\u2019t expect to suffer so heavy damage. But, when I walked to friend\u2019s house, some fires and tsunami occurred. I felt the most fearful when I stayed in the place of refuge. And I was in a panic because I couldn\u2019t contact with my parents.<\/p>\n<p>Rika: when a big earthquake happens again, what will you do first?<\/p>\n<p>Doya: First of all, I\u2019ll prepare an identification card, cash and foods. And I\u2019ll bring them to a place of refuge.<\/p>\n<p>Rika: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you very much Peter and Doya. Both of them have never suffered an earthquake in their country, so this is the first time for them. We often suffer earthquakes in Japan, but even we were nervous at that time, it\u2019s natural thing that people from abroad were\u00a0worried and more nervous than us. We hope that this experience may help them to live in Japan safely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.podspress.com\/spring11\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/GBand-interview-peter.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff What did you think when it was March 11th?
