the 30th day of the 3rd lunar month.
Many Japanese are heading for North Japan
during the Golden week, aiming to join a range of
volunteer activities or to spend money on sightseeing.
Believe it or not, we can stay, dine out, even cruise around there
thanks to the positive clean-up operations after the 311 quake.
As you know, the Tohoku Shinkansen line has fully resumed
its bullet train services on 29 April. What a hi-tech country!
Even more, supermarkets or department stores in Tokyo
promote the North Japan food/products with a prayer
simply wishing for the fast recovery of the regions.
I am so moved as folks here happily buy the products or
donate money to help people who have suffered tragic losses.
