The “earthquake of magnitude 6.1″:http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/BKK96422.htm rocked my second floor hotel room in Chiang Mai! The lights were shaking, my bed was shaking, I was lying down in bed at 3pm (that’s all I do these days, exhausted from the previous week of working).
Mum: “What was that?”
Me: “What was what?”
Mum: “That shaking!”
Me: “Oh, you felt that too? I thought everything was swaying because I took too much flu meds. That was probably, um, a… zzzz.”
She’s often said I can sleep through war and natural disaster; she’s wrong. I can probably sleep through war, natural disaster, and wake up to wonder why everybody’s gone.
