Sendai Earthquake Tokyo Troubles
Monday, March 14, 2011 at 8:29PM ;)
While the city of Tokyo was certainly not hit very hard by the quake and damage here was very minimal (some buildings collapsed, only two confirmed deaths within the area due to a natural gas explosion), the troubles that we are facing at the moment are hunger.

As you may have seen in blogs like this as well as on CNN or other news media outlets, the stores are becoming barer and barer by the hour. I am lucky enough to live overtop of a small grocery store and made darn sure we stocked up on as much as possible but with police driving through the streets urging people to stock up on water, things are becoming a little scary. Saturday evening I had to bring my wife to the hospital to deal with a 38.9C fever. On the way home we stopped by 7 grocery stores and 11 convenient stores before finally finding one little 7-11 that happened to have 3 'boxes' of french fries left (フライ ポテート). Thankfully I rarely eat very much (albeit being chubby) so I bought a single box of fries for myself, a couple bottles of tea and a couple little squeeze-bags of mango flavored 'diet jello' for my wife and away we went.

While the damage and death toll here in Tokyo is minimal, that isn't to say we aren't having problems of our own. Wish us luck everyone.
