Hehe we had an earthquake around here awhile back and I was all disappointed because I ended up sleeping through it.

I wouldn't take too lightly, but still the perception between countries is really different.

Oh come on, Germany has earthquakes.

I know that feeling.
In more than 20 years living in Calabria, I could notice only one small earthquake (even though they said various times on TV that there was one).
