Conservation, the Japanese way

Next day, we're assured that these tremors are pretty normal after the big March quake – this one was south of Tokyo and measured 6. The Japanese get alerts on TV and their cell phones 10-15 seconds before the quake strikes. We're on the eighth floor of the hotel so the swaying is quite pronounced. The hotel staff assure us that buildings are quake-resistant and because of that can sometimes sway longer than the tremor lasts. So, many lights are switched off while air-conditioning in public places is mandated to be at 27 degrees C. And, the Japanese are a stoic and disciplined lot, as we will learn over the course of the next five days of our stay in Japan. The earthquake tremors get one to recall the shaking buildings in Chennai during the 2004 Indonesian quake and tsunami. , the floor starts shaking. We touch down at Tokyo's Narita airport with a mix of emotions – excitement and apprehension – the latter because of all that Japan has gone through in the recent past. A bit of apprehension is met the second night in Tokyo – at approximately 12.
