I experienced my first earthquake in Aomori! ...And no one acknowledged it. It was just a little bitty baby earthquake. It only lasted about thirty seconds, and I might not have noticed it if I wasn't sitting still at my desk. All of the sudden I felt a little off-balance and looked up to see the cord on the desk block phone swinging a little. And then it was over and when I looked around, very few people seemed to have noticed it at all! I heard two guys saying "地震？" "そうか。。。" ("an earthquake?" "I guess so...") and that was all the acknowledgement I saw of it.
I checked my earthquake radar immediately after and saw that it was a 5.0 off the coast of Hokkaido. Glad to see that my radar updates as soon as it happens!
