Not just because I’m Japanese…..but that probably helps.
We read Sadako and the 1000 Paper Cranes in 1st grade. Good read. It was about a little girl that got Leukemia after the atom bomb was dropped on Japan. She tries to fold 1000 paper cranes so she can get her wish granted – to live. Maybe that was too deep for 1st grade….either way, it stuck with me.
The earthquake, tsunami and now all the issues with the nuclear power plant are so saddening.
I heard that there hasn’t been a single case of looting. We could probably learn a thing or 2 from them.
If you want to help, and haven’t already…..

and turn into – it’s like magic
On a side note, have you head all the hubub about god causing the destruction in Japan? Glenn Beck claims it was a message from god……in a movement of pure awesome, Alejandro Suarez (if that is your real name), made the website godhatesjapan.com. Click the link, you’ll be glad you did. Let’s just be clear, there is a perfectly logical, scientific reason behind earthquakes.
Happy Friday.
