It's been about two months since the big earthquake and tsunami that devastated the Tohoku region of Japan. While things have improved, there are still many problems related to the disaster. The victims from that area have the biggest problems, of course, and our inconveniences here in the Yokohama & Tokyo areas are minor in comparison. But it's interesting to think about how our lives have changed since the disaster. For example, our university has stopped using many elevators. Also, at Tsurumi Station, the escalator going from the bus stop to the 2nd floor is no longer operating. What other changes in your daily life have you noticed since the disaster? Blog about how the earthquake has affected you and your community in the last two months.
If this blog topic doesn't appeal to you, go to the list of Japan News sites from April 20 on this blog and find a news story you would like to comment on. Meanwhile, most students will be revising their 2nd Essay (Comparison).
We must make economic in using electricity.
ReplyDeleteI want people in the stricken area to come to be able to live early.

We had a big earthquake two month ago. So, elevator, scalator and electricity stop. I felt very inconvenience. But I knew the electricity. Not only electricity, water too. Stricken area people are more difficult. I hope early revial. Aya
ReplyDeleteI still remember how it happened as clearly as if it were only yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI'm really worried about the victims in Northern Japan. I can't even think of what it's like and what they are going through.
It is easy to say things like "I want to go there and help them", but it's hard to do.
I was thinking what I can do for them for now and I decided to go to shopping mall the other day to donated some money.
And I'm also trying to save on electricity as much as I can.

I always have used life line uselessly before big earthquake happend. For example, I every time didn't stop shower and waterworker in my house. And I used light in vain when I went to the bathroom. but now I don't as use as possible shower and waterworker. Also I don't use light at bathroom case in morning. But it is just thing. So, I call mother that this things. She is very lavish spender.

There are no yoghurts in a restrant I work, because the restrant receives them from Tohoku region. Guests ask me, "I want to eat upghurt. Why is there no it here?". I "Sorry, for eathquake ‥‥." They satisfy my explanation.
