Tsukuba city disaster drill 2013

While I always wanted to research how an emergency drill would function for people with disabilities, I had to forego this chance exactly because of the disability.

Tsukuba city had its annual disaster drill this Sunday. Due to typhoon 22, it was raining earlier that week on Wednesday morning, when I optimistically rushed outside in my rain suit. I went down the stairs faster than expected as I had slipped half way through, falling on my hand and back. I merrily avoided a scaphoid fracture. However in combination with the program I started to follow this month on Saturdays in Tokyo, it proved to be too much to also visit the drill this year. So instead, here is a movie of me in action last year.
