Two Months After the Quake

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.
