Hope everyone is well. Everything is pretty much back to normal in Tokyo post earthquake and tsunami, but the areas up north are still devastated. My company is making volunteer trips to the effected areas but they are poorly organized, most of us find out about them after they've completed. Apparently, Tepco lied and three times the previously disclosed amount of radiation was dumped into the sea. Anyway, we are still buying water bottles in bulk from Amazon just to be safe, although there is probably little health risk now.
We took a long weekend trip to Okinawa recently. The weather was great while we were there, but a typhoon arrived just as we were leaving. Lots of military bases around there and fighter jets flying through the air, very interesting and lovely place.
