Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile. But this time I have a good excuse. So much has happened in the past two and a half weeks since Japan was hit with the 8.9 magnitude earthquake and it's been pretty crazy ever since. People still trip out that I didn't leave. My mother has been hysterical on the phone and even her ex-boyfriend that I haven't talked to in couple of years keeps e-mailing to tell me to leave the country because of the radiation scare. As you can see i've been really stressed, but I have my reasons why I am still here and I don't plan on leaving anytime soon.
It's crazy to think that I was physically here when it all happened. I mean this is gonna go down in history as one of the most severe catastrophes of this century. But I can tell you that everyone here in Japan is being very levelheaded about this situation and prevailing through these tough times. For the first time, I must say I'm proud to be Japanese.
This was what happened to my agency the day of the earthquake.
The images of destruction and flooding were heartbreaking. Our prayers and wishes are with everyone in Japan and wishing you a speedy recovery.
