Crazy - Keep us posted on what's happening over there as far as the nuclear threat. I hear the gaijin are leaving like crazy, hiring private jets to get them out of there and not even questioning how much it's going to cost.
If possible maybe you should go back to Australia until the danger is past.
Private jets? First I've heard of that.
As one of the lucky ones, I've been offered a temporary relocation to Osaka which is about 1200km from the plant itself.
I didn't accept it. My bride to be and her family are here in Tokyo and leaving them, especially my fiance?, is not an option. The hardest person to forgive in the world, is yourself. So I'll stick to my guns and remain where I'm needed. No regrets.
How is the nuclear fallout concerns affecting the big cities? I am reading reports that the streets of Tokyo are abandoned in broad daylight, is that true?
I seriously doubt that that's the case anywhere. Not in that entirety, anyway.
To give you an indication of the misinformation the media are contriving, I'll enlighten you on this evil shit:
I am a translator for the international department of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries International Department, so my Japanese is pretty crisp.
A BBC reporter in Miyagi city interviewed a man with translations of his comments after the tsunami had subsided.
The man said: 'I saw household goods, cars and furniture etc. floating past my door', which BBC, who in my eyes are (were?) the best news station in the world, translated to 'I saw children floating past my door'.
Indicative of the misinformation that circulates from the dishonest 'melancholy mongering' that reporters cash in on.
Don't listen to the c*nts amplifying panic. Many have left, but the very vast majority remain.
Everyone's main concern is the nuclear power companies honesty. Therein lies the fates of millions.
Reporters feeding on uncertainty and fear is more poisonous than any nuclear fuel in my eyes.
Luckily, it's the minority.
