Well after five 4.7 years, It finally happened.
Friday after an amazing dinner at one of my adult students homes, a retired couple. I was walking home, their home is very close to mine, but it was my first time on that street, it was dark, and I was reading updates from posts on Facebook about the earthquake on my phone.
My left food suddenly stepped down into the gaijin trap, up to my waist. My left leg was in the trap, the right was still on the road, the left side of my body leaning against the wall. Of course there was a car behind me to witness this act.
I pushed myself against the wall to propel the left half of my body back up onto the street. I continued walking home with only one injury... my pride.
