The general outlines are as follows.

***
March 11th 2011, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake hit Japan.
It was the recoded history in the country.
Afflicted areas were seriously damaged by the unprecedented earthquake disaster and being forced to recover from zero.
However, Japanese people and government attitudes and behavior were composed and responded in an orderly manner.
I recognized the high cultural standard of Japanese people.

It's caused in the following respect.

* The medias have been professional and there were no unnecessarily inflames reports.
* Damage caused by shoddy construction have not been reported.
* The government's crisis management have been calm.
* The government will publish the information nor reject the foreign rescue.

Japan's situation was a valuable lesson.

It could minimize a tragic disaster by human efforts.

Hiking @ Mt. Fuji

Pictures of Mt. Fuji where one of spiritual places in Japan. You can drive to halfway up the mountain. It's about two hours hiking course from there. Many people like to try climbing up Mt. Fuji. It's a popular way that people spend a night at a co ttage and start around 2am to see sun rise at the top, however I have never tried it. R einforcement work is under way as mountain slope is sliding down. I didn't make any effort, instead I just felt autumn there. It was a clear day after rainy days that took off orange osmanthus petals. Fujisan with rainbow Rain cleanses us and brings next season.

Blackout Threatened

TEPCO, Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc., divided Kanto region into five groups and have been carrying out stop electric power for a few hours in order. Plan was not informed in advance, which gave people confusion. During blackout, traffic light is out of service, there was a fatal traffic accident due to that.

Lost in Translation

There are frequent questions for foreigners who visit in Japan such as 'Can you use chopsticks?' or 'Do you eat Natto ?'. And relatively one of the latest might be 'Have you ever watched Lost in Translation?'. And interesting thing is that people who are familiar with Japan well or live in this country for a long time didn't really like that movie. (Including me) I was asked by my friend why, I replied that Sofia Coppola emphasized strange things of Japanese a little bit too much. The Japanese hooker didn't have to be that old woman with such degrading English. The director must have intended it to compare to the heroine who was young and a white beautiful girl. By the way, I and my other friend went to the bar at Park Hyatto in Shinjyku to experience Lost In Translation in last January. The hotel was splendid. All these three picture were being taken by her camera.
