    Living Through the East Japan Disaster

    I understand that you were at home in Tokyo on March 11, 2011 when the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred. What did you experience on that day?

    When the earthquake began, a cupboard in my house almost fell down. I put my 8 year old daughter and my 3 year old son under the table for protection, and I turned on the computer and TV immediately. All the TV programs were replaced by emergency newscasts which gave us several Tsunami warnings. When I saw the terrible footage of the Tsunami hitting Japan, I was frightened and trembled in fear. Then I realized that a giant earthquake had occurred in Northeast Japan and the shock of what was happening set in.

    I tried to call my husband right away, but the telephone didn't work at that time. Luckily the computer was working, so we could talk to each other and find out we were safe. My husband ran into trouble with train service suspensions caused by the earthquake. He walked half way home and caught the train somehow. It was 3:00 AM when he reached home. We knew things would be difficult for a while, but we tried to remain calm not only us but for our children.

    Living History - Sarah Houseman '87

    Living through the 2011 Egyptian Revolution

    How long have you lived in Cairo? Are you there for work, family, other?
    I have been here for almost 11 years. I originally came to Egypt to work in tourism. After a couple of years, I met my husband, Tamer, who is Egyptian. We’ve been married for 7 years and have two children, our daughter Noor who is 5 and our son Karim who is 3.

    What was life in Cairo like before the 2011 Egyptian Revolution?
    Life was always really peaceful and safe. The Egyptians are very warm and friendly people and they also love foreigners so I have always felt welcome and accepted here. People didn’t talk too much about political issues, like when or if Mubarak ought to step down though at times I would speak with people who felt things needed to change in the country. I think many Egyptians accepted his rule for so long because it was stable and safe here, and they also felt that if they spoke out, their voice wouldn’t be heard.
