Since the earthquake/tsumani hit Japan, I've been speechless about it. Largely because it seems that it just keeps getting worse. First the earthquake. It was first put forward as a 7.9 Magnitude, and then it was changed to an 8.9 Magnitude. Then a 10m tsunami hit, followed by a 4m wave of mud. Now they have found several hundred bodies, expect fatalities to reach 1000, and the Fukushima nuclear power plant has exploded. It has been a scary event for all involved.

I have one friend living in Tokyo at the moment. I have been in contact with him, and he's fine. His main whinge was the 16km walk home he had from his office, because all the trains and buses were shut down by the earthquake. Considering he's about 250km from Fukushima, he also won't be affected by the nuclear explosion. I know they wanted anyone within 10km of the plant to get out.

Really wishing good luck to the people of Japan to recover. This has been absolutely dreadful.

Good luck, Japan!
