In terms of seismic intensity, would it be around 2 or less?
Some people didn't feel the shaking at all.
nevertheless,
It was a very rare experience
All day long, TV news and people's conversations were dominated by stories of "earthquake experiences."
Meanwhile,
Within 20 minutes of the earthquake
"I survived the NYC earthquake"
I survived the NYC earthquake.

As soon as it hits the shelves
There was a 2-hour queue.
In just one hour, they sold over 1,000 copies, totalling about 1.5 million yen.
A former bank employee and shop owner is attracting attention.

●The “Harlem Renaissance Exhibition” is being held at the Metropolitan Museum (MET) on Fifth Avenue in NY●
After the emancipation of slaves from the 1920s to the 1940s, African Americans migrated from the southern United States in search of freedom.
Black culture will bloom in Harlem, NY.
There are 160 paintings, sculptures, videos, photographs, etc.!
I was surprised by the unique use of colors and touches.
While thinking about the historical background that I always talk about with Deep on my Harlem tours.
You can't help but experience the freedom and splendor of art.
It was so wonderful that people praised it and said, “It should be installed permanently!”
This event is open until July 28, 2024!
I want to go five more times, no, I want to see more.
