00:00 Aftershocks are still continuing.
00:25 We are choosing our car over our house, so we can flee right away in case another major
00:30 earthquake strikes.
00:35 We are about three meters above sea level.
00:40 We don't know when the next big earthquake might come.
00:47 Of course, if another big earthquake comes, this house will collapse, so we are thinking
00:52 of safety.
00:59 Honestly, it's hard, but as I just said, even though it's hard, we are able to clean up our
01:09 things, so we are good here.
01:12 However, if it gets too hard, then we could go to an evacuation center.
