A quick dispatch from Tokyo that has nothing to do with Berlin. I'm here on work and just happened experience an earthquake that is apparently of magnitude 8.8. I was working in my hotel when it struck. I saw the bed start shaking and got myself under a desk (though on the fifth floor of a hotel it was probably pretty pointless - but what else does one do?)
I felt the earth shake for a long 30 seconds or more, heard the water sloshing in the toilet and felt the desk hopping above me. As soon as I could, I got out into the open air - and was not the only one. The following photos are all shots of ordinary people out in the streets after the quake and during the aftershocks.
