As you may know by know, there has been an unprecedented crisis in Japan following the massive earthquake and tsunami that hit last Friday. Many of you have contacted me and I really appreciate your warm support and concern about my family and friends there.
Over the weekend, I was able to talk to my parents and confirmed that my family and close friends are all ok. I knew the region they live wasn’t affected as seriously but couldn’t feel relieved until I actually hear their voice. Yet, it is still very painful to watch the devastating scenes on TV knowing that someone who I know and my friends’ family/ friends could be there.
While I’m still in shock with what has happened there, I was wondering what I could do as a Japanese living oversea, and realized that sharing information in English is one of them.
So, please forward the following to your family and friends who need the information or are concerned about this tragedy.
