Fire/Earthquake Drill

This morning my host mother came in my room and said, there will be a fire/earthquake drill in a few minutes; you're welcome to join if you want but you don't have to....

Now this I wanted to experience. I am glad we are only on the 16th floor. Apparently they used to live on the 41st floor, and had an earthquake in the middle of the night--that would NOT have been a fun stairway experience.

Made a 1-min video you can check out here. Love how everyone is out for a morning stroll! Wonder how quick they move when it's the real deal?

All in all, quite impressed with how organized they were. They even had free water for everyone. If you ever wondered how evacuation happens for a mall of 10 floors with 8 towers of 36-floor apartment buildings on top of it, now you have an idea.... :)
