Earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan

Posted by japaneseretrovideogames on March 12, 2011 at 1:35 PM

This week has of course been terrible for Japan. The earthquake and tsunami that have caused thousands of deaths have been world news. Here in Japan there is less panic and concern than i would expect. Where i am is untouched by the devastation yet with more aftershocks occuring hourly and nuke power plant problems, anything could happen.

Although Japan is a wealthy nation the situation is becoming a humanitarian disaster. Thousands are without a roof over their head, food or water and temperatures are unusually low for this time of year.essential foods are running out in some areas. Unlike the Kobe earthquake in 1995 the Government has been quick to respond and help those in need. Media coverage is of course intense though i usually find the information is more up to date from watching the BBC news channel or Sky News. I never realsied how bad thses disasters were until seeing almost at first hand, it is all rather shocking to say the least.

Many people have emailed and  i am gratefull for their concern. Business goes on as usual and 2011 has so far been my most succesfull ever and i hope that continues.

 

Back soon
