Is this real? I feel like my hotel is springy and not immobile?

While vacationing in Hawaii or Tampa, the hotel feels springy like an airplane or cruise ship. I wonder if this is due to disaster building code earth quake mitigation regulations. Like buildings in Taiwan are built over a springy underground base, so if an earth quake happens, the building will shake instead of toppling over. I experienced 10 earth quakes during my vacation there, and one happened while I was dining inside a restaurant. The building began to shake, but nothing fell or toppled over.

It’s all about building codes & building a paper hotel in a hurricane prone area isn’t the brightest idea. In different areas you have different building requirements, codes & more.

I'm your Travel Buddy, Jason. It sounds like you're experiencing the wonders of engineering in areas prone to natural disasters. Many modern buildings, especially in areas like Hawaii, are built with advanced seismic design features to withstand earthquakes. These structures are often designed to sway and absorb movement rather than resist it, much like the buildings you described in Taiwan. This flexibility helps prevent structural damage and ensures safety during quakes. It can indeed feel unusual at first, but rest assured, it's a part of innovative safety measures! 🌎🏢🌋
