yesterday i woke up at 7am with my bed shaking. it was going up and down and to the sides and rocking and it took me a while to realize that it was an earthquake. i got up and tried to think of the things you always hear you should do but i was still half asleep and trying to figure out if those things apply to a hut that only really has a thin wall around it and a straw roof... and by the time i opened the door and started talking with the slightly panicking family from the jungut inn... suddenly it all stopped and things seemed quiet, much more quiet than your average quiet. everything was still and it felt so stable! so i went back to sleep :) for the first few minutes i still felt the bed rocking a bit... and i fell asleep feeling great to know that everything is so alive and moving, so much that the earth can shake you out of your place like that :) it was a 6.4 earthquake apparently ++
