A couple of years back I did a course on natural hazards and traditional buildings, and I decided to write one of the papers on the Kobe earthquake. It was really great to get the chance to visit Kobe, and also meet the person who had written much of the research that I have worked with in the past.
You must excuse the photo-of-a-photo but I have put in here the before and after pics of one of the buildings 'damaged' by the earthquake. We had lunch in the reconstructed building that day
