That’s big. I was in a seven.

East coast is less populated, more rural. Hualien is a nice place.

Taiwan gets hit by earthquakes very often. We can’t say its “normal” but like the Japanese, the people there are very used to it.

Poor Taiwan...they never get a break.

Such lovely people, too.

Prayers up.

Looks a bit closer to Taitung.

Very large.

Good!

We used to get to interact with Taiwanese people every summer, when they would bring their championship teams to the Little League World Series here in Williamsport.

I am hoping there will be International teams again this year, after two years without those great kids.

Eastern Japan had a big one last week. The Ring of Fire is getting busy.
