Japan needs to communicate better.

Mar

There are not much information about nuclear power plants coming out of Japan. Tokyo Electric and Japanese Government need to inform the world better. People around the world need to know more.

People here (in Seoul) are very concerned. I met a lady, her son stop his study in Japan. He is now planning to study in the USA. Good for him.

Here is the picture of the ride I saw yesterday in Seoul. No seat belts, no safety net ... I try to upload vide to YouTube but was not successful. I did not know you are not allowed to upload uncensored video to YouTube in Korea. If you would like to see video, please visit my facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/uchikura/

Booming Economy

Mar

The economy must be booming here in Korea.
Can you see all the constructions in distance?
There are at least 20 new huge bridges being built.

What have they done right?

I thought they were bankrupt a few years back and borrowed money from the World Bank. What have they done? We should learn from them.

What is Se Vo Re???

Well, it is "Chevrolet". Like Japanese language, "Chevrolet" is an impossible pronunciation in Korean.

Arrived in Seoul Korea

Mar

I left Japan today and arrive in Seoul Korea today. At Incheon airport, there is a radiation checkpoint. But unlike news I heard in Japan, it is not mandatory. They set this up to for people who came from Japan to assure them they are okay.

There is a big difference.

An Email From Tokyo

Mar

23

Bottled water has disappeared from super markets, convenience stores.
I think the typical symptoms and hoarding. I will wait until you calm down here.

I do not know whether we are okay here or not, we are trying to be as normal as possible. But the eyes of the world more and more stringent toward Japan.

I just received this email from Tokyo. I do not know what we can do but to pray.

You've Been In Japan Too Long When...

...you notice you've forgotten how to tie shoelaces.
...you rush onto an escalator, and just stand there.
...you find yourself bowing while you talk on the phone.
...you think US$17 isn't such a bad price for a new paperback.
...you don't hesitate to put a $10 note into a vending machine.

There are many more at http://web2.iadfw.net/will/japan2long.html but the latest one is.

...you know the difference between Micro-Siever and Mili-Siever.
