Hanshin-Awaji Great Eathquake

My eariest memory should be the huge natural disaster which happened in Hanshin area when I was 3 years old. It was The Hanshin-Awaji big earthquake on 17th January in 1995. It was miserable. Wall in my house was nearly half-destroyed, and my dad's head hit a cloth case so that he was bleeding. We had to run away to a safe place nearby. As I was running away with my mum from my house, I remember that I saw dishes dropped from the dishboard, it was scary. It was my great exoerience in my life.
