Remember 3/11
I think it appropriate to at least mention that today is the anniversary of the 9.0 earthquake and tsunami combo that caused so much devastation in the north of this wonderful country. What is perhaps most shocking is to see how little progress has been made to rebuild the towns that were hit hardest. Recent BBC articles report that as much as 19 years worth of garbage continues to sit in massive debris piles that will take years to dispose of. Here’s a link to a great article and video that give you an idea what much of the coast still looks like and how survivors attempt to move on. Please keep the Japanese in your thoughts.
