Happens all the time over there.

I had a similar experience in the fall in Hong Kong. My friend and I were on the 18th floor and we totally felt it, and needless to say perhaps, we were pretty freaked out. We went down to the lobby and the staff had no idea, and their reaction was basically, "yeah it was an earthquake, but just a little one". The epicenter was far away, and I guess it was minor, but being the one and only time I've experienced one, it was still quite unsettling!
