About the Earthquake- I am afraid I do not have anything interesting to say. I was on a river tour of Tokyo's Bridges from Asakusa to a garden when it struck. While we didn't really feel anything, we noticed the lampposts swaying side to side and the antennas on top of the surrounding buildings moving.
We were forced off the boat at the first exit, and then we walked for 2 or so hours to get back to the hotel (the trains were shut down). The worst damage we saw were some minor cracks in the sidewalk (nothing that New York doesn't have), some broken glass from the windows in the buildings, and a little extra water from some pipes.
There have been quite a few aftershocks, but I have not noticed them- because when they happened I was passed out asleep.
Moral of the story? I am fine and well. We went out today and besides some stores being closed, and the streets being less crowded- Tokyo was business as usual.
