When the great earthquake struck on March 11, 2011 2011 05:46:24 UTC , later that day I got an email from the US embassy recomending departure. So I did . When I came back after the embassy basically said it was ok...

An email message to American citizens from Ambassador John V. Roos in Japan says US officials recommend an 80km radius Fukushima evacuation zone.
Here is an excerpt from message from Ambassador John V. Roos:
"The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Department of Energy and other technical experts in the U.S. Government have reviewed the scientific and technical information they have collected from assets in country, as well as what the Government of Japan has disseminated, in response to the deteriorating situation at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. Consistent with the NRC guidelines that apply to such a situation in the United States, we are recommending, as a precaution, that American citizens who live within 50 miles (80 kilometers) of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant evacuate the area or to take shelter indoors if safe evacuation is not practical.
We want to underscore that there are numerous factors in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami, including weather, wind direction and speed, and the nature of the reactor problem that affect the risk of radioactive contamination within this 50 mile (80 km) radius or the possibility of lower-level radioactive materials reaching greater distances."
The evacuation area is currently a radius of 30km from Fukushima No.1 and No 2.
Tokyo is 240km from Fukushima.

They fight all the time (even in the hallway and in front of the building) and one of them takes the noisiest shower ever every night around 1 AM. It sounds like someone is repeatedly slipping and falling the whole time the shower is running. Maybe that's when they have their make up sex.

I had a Chinese couple as neighbours once too. They didn't fight much, but when they did it was epic.

It seemed like she was trying to leave (pretending to try would be more accurate) and he was trying to drag her back to their apartment. They both stopped and acted like nothing was going on when they noticed me coming up so I just ignored it. As soon as I was one flight up I could hear them struggling again. I thought about calling the cops but it didn't seem like they were going to escalate the violence.
I've seen them play that game a couple of times since. She'll get angry and act like she's leaving and he'll physically try to stop her. I don't think it's very healthy but it's none of my fucking business if she likes to be manhandled like that.
