The Following Days

In the days that came shortly after the earthquake, nobody was quite sure just what to say or do.  It seemed as though very few people would want to speak about the earthquake and tsunami other than to let their friends and co-workers know that "Don't worry, my friends and family are safe."  Nobody can be blamed for such actions either as the Japanese culture internalizes stress and problems as compared to those in North America who release their stress through (in some cases) fighting, drinking and various outer mental issues.

I would like to bring to you some TV screen-grabs I produced from AsahiTV, FujiTV and NHK TV News station.

 

Also, please pardon the mis-alligning of the images that I have posted up.  I am still getting used to this new blog format.
