This morning in Bali at 7.07am we had an earthquake measuring around 6 on the Richter scale. My wooden Balinese style house shook and creaked and I lay in bed trying to remember the best thing to do to survive if you were in a building in an earthquake. Do you get under the covers? Under the bed? 30 seconds had passed. The building still shook and creaked. Just as I remembered that the best thing you can do is hunker down between furniture ( so that falling masonery falls but leaves a space for you to breathe) and dove, bedcover in hand into the gap between the bed and dresser, it stopped. Well that wasnt quite the wake up call I was expecting!!!
What a way to start the day!!
