I was in Istanbul in 2000 when there happened a small earthquake. It was by night, at hotel. It was strange. At first, big noises in the ground. And then the bed shaken, and I looked around me, the wall moved also and the ceiling also : funny feeling when nothing is stable in the world. But it last a very short time.

I was sleeping and dreaming when it happened and by being shaken like that I dreamed that Turkish Polis came in the room and waked me for interrogating. Then I completely awake and I thought : 'Oooh, that's ok, just an earthquake, no matter !' :lol:
