The Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake Museum was traumatic, and I haven't been in an Earthquake, only seen the effects of the Christchurch one, and most of that from the comfort of TV in Auckland. It was bad, very bad, but unbelievable how fast some of the infrastructure was back in place. But like Christchurch, some suffered afterwards, dodgy builders, extra mortgages, communities split, temp accommodation for too long, some rebuilds not working compared with the old, urbanizm too controlled
