Earthquakes, tsunamis, and radiation...OH MY!!!

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.
