Well, it is true that taller buildings sway more. I remember being in a house in Ottawa when there was a tremor and it was nothing like the side to side motion of the shocks we had yesterday. Fortunately for me, the epicentre was not in Kaoshiung, but about 100kms away, so we only got the sway and not the dish rattling, window breaking, effects they had around Nantou City, and Hualien City. I did go onto the Central Weather Bureau's website to check out the quakes, and it seems that there were 10 tremors (shocks and aftershocks) yesterday, and 10 today. Just a little warning for my Canadian friends and family who are experiencing the first touch of winter, don't look at the temperatures, they will not make you feel all light and cheery, ;-)

Still no trip to "Computer alley", but I did manage to go to a couple of markets, and the location of a giant flea market was pointed out to me. I heard it is like Preston Hardware, in that if you can not find it here, it does not exist or you don't need it.
