Misunderstanding ... Just admit it.

5月

25日

Tokyo Electric Company (TEPCO) stopped pouring sea water into a reactor for 50 minuets because of the order from the prime minister. The prime minister asked TEPCO to stop pouring based on the advise from the nuclear agency. The nuclear agency denied advising the prime minister. The advisor said "the meltdown possibility is not zero".

That is at least what my understanding of what went on.

Who cares, who stopped? and Why? It was a mistake, Get over it. Don't waste arguing about it and focus on the recovery.

Earthquake and Tsunami News in Japan

5月

The broadcasting in Japan now is focusing on the monetary damages. They are mainly talking about Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and how much it will have to spend to compensate.

Now they are talking about as much as 15,000,000,000,000 yen ($18 Billion Dollars) that TEPCO may need. It is very close to what BP set aside for the gulf oil spill. TEPCO has not clearly said they will pay.

Arrived in Japan

24日

After 14 and half hours of traveling time, I have arrived in rainy Kansai/Osaka International Airport. I had about 2 hour layover at Icheon Airport in Korea. As usual, Asiana provided wonderful service arriving in Korea little early too.

I slept very well last night. It seems I have gotten over my lower back pain. It is still raining in Ashiya. I took this picture at Incheon Airport waiting for my boarding to start.

Amazing Tsunami Pictures

Only few people hanging on the pole survived the tsunami in Japan. What you are looking at is the radio antenna standing on the top of the roof of the 3 story building. It looks like a middle of the ocean.

I think this is the last of cherry blossoms we see this year. The weather had been very bad, so I did not enjoy cherry blossoms as usual. Now the weather is better, my allergy are blossoming. You can not win either way.
