is it just me or the ground is in permanent tremors/almost un-noticeable quakes?
i work and live on the 18 floor of a high rise,which i think might amplify any moves,and taiwan has ,by nature,been more prone to quakes than regions i lived at before.
we had a clear quake a few months back and the locals around me didn’t even bat an eyelid upon it ,so those tiny movements might not even be picked up by them.
i was wondering…is it just me? :s
you should get a Life Insurance
stay very close to the floor.
Big trucks, my friend.
I think all tall buildings have a tendency to naturally sway… but i could be wrong. When I lived in california, the mall always seemed rock back and forth a bit… i heard it was cause it was built on rolling ball type things fo earthquakes.
They’re Taiwanese buildings so they never look where they’re going but somehow always manage to avoid bumping into each other at the last moment.
while i can’t agree more with the chick in your avatar,i’ll disregard the big trucks theory as there is never any of those driving past my buildings
and even if some did i’d be pretty worried they could make a 31 floor building rock 
Eureka! I have found the problem.
You don’t live in a rooftop, do you?

:s what do you mean?
Well, I live in a ground floor apartment in Tainan city. The area is fairly quiet and there is nothing other than the occasional scooter coming by once in a while. Yet I also feel the odd tremor a few times a day. Nothing serious, just a mild movement that can obviously not be anything other than the earth moving.
Hey thats supposed to be my line!!
well thankyou for the first proper answer,it makes me feel better

At my home, close to the ground, I don’t feel what you say, but at work on the 22d floor I also feel small tremors all the time. I attribute it to (a) the building swaying in the wind, (b) fat people stomping past my cubicle (seriously) and/or © muscles twitching in my legs or my inner ear playing tricks on me giving the illusion that the world is trembling when it isn’t. I’m not sure which, if any, of the above is correct, but I had wondered about this before you mentioned it.
well actually the seriousness of my OP was pretty deep.
as i said,peoples around me (all taiwanese) don’t even twitch if there is a very perceptible quake like we had 3 months ago,so i was wondering if i was the only one to feel that,because if i had been the only one,it would have meant that an old fear had resurfaced:
10 years ago i had the same feelings,auras,they were created by a brain tumour that affected my balance and similar sensations of earth rocking,not a pleasant phase to go thru
