Disaster Prevention

Today's weekend excursion took us to Tokyo's "Disaster Prevention Center", an interactive experience with great simulations such as the magnitude 7 earthquake simulator that we are enjoying in this picture (and which in no time convinced me, that i do not need to experience a magnitude 7 earthquake, ever - but at least I was not wearing shorts like some of the guys who came out with badly rug-burned knees...). Other fun 'rides' included the typhoon simulator, a burning kitchen, a burning building maze & a 3-D movie of a Tokyo earthquake scenario, complete with burning buildings crashing down on us. Man, do I love Japanese exhibition design!
