9 years ago I was junior high school student. I studied for the examination. I passed through a shocking that was Hanshi-Daishinsai. I lived Okayama that day,so I felt strong swing. Of couse Okayama`s swing was weaker than Koube,but I was afraid it. Actually my cousin have lived Koube(Nada). The earthquake was a direct hit on Nada,so they lived with my family in Okayama. 6433 people died in a Hanshin-Daishinsai. I couldn`t do anything for them. I was so childish that day,so I couldn`t understand clearly about grievous accident and the present condition. I have felt quite wretched about it.
