I did not see many people out. People are not trusting the government announcement about no health risk due to the radiation fall out from Fukushima Nuclear power plants.

People are getting information from TV, Radio, Internet. Even the moving tickers where usually displays the stock prices are showing what is happening.

In Tokyo downtown, there is a shortage of batteries. A, AA, AAA batteries are nowhere to be seen. Also, external batteries for cellular phone are sold out.

Good morning from Tokyo

3月

16日

You are looking at Shijyuku area, one of many downtowns in Tokyo metro area. There was an earthquake in Tokyo last night. It was not big. It feels like being on the cruse ship.

It looks like another beautiful day here in Tokyo. People here are not too concerned about earthquakes or after shocks. They are keeping their eyes on nuclear power plans.

I have heard there are 50 employees of Tokyo Electric Co. volunteered to stay at the plants to manually cooling the systems. Needless to say, they are exposed to higher radiation. Japanese government raised the radiation safety limit yesterday, so 20 more people can go to the plants.

The prime minister said "thank you" to those people on TV. I think he know those people will not survive the radiation. CNN called them "HEROS".

I am going to Japan on Monday

13日

I have plan to go to Japan on Monday. I have talked with several people in Japan and have decided to go regardless of this earthquake and tsunami. Tokyo area seems to be fine.

I canceled my last trip to Japan in November and I can cancel it again but I think it is better for our business to go there.

If you understand Japanese, NHK just unblocked the access to their TV stream.

I am very impressed by the response of Japanese government. They must have learned a lot from Kobe Earthquake.
