Was speaking with my colleague in Taipei over the phone when she suddenly shouted "Earthquake".

For those in Taipei now, stay safe!!!

Just be safe. There will be aftershocks n do not panic. Enjoy the experience and be alive to tell more stories.

Take care.

Heard the news though i was away. But if hsr miss n late for plane dun know how liao. Take cab to airport maybe in time. Dun know if long distance example from kaohsiung then how? Can miss plane de, due to distance. Better think twice for travellers that come back to taoyuan on last day from places as far as taichung to taoyuan. Hsinchu still not that bad.

Usually Few days earlier I will locate myself to the nearby city n tour there before the returning flight.

Felt bit of it this morning in taipei, didn't realize until watching their evening news. Quite bad in central Taiwan, building cracks and falling wall which killed an old lady farmer.
