The streaming link to NHK is proving a handy thing. I am finding watching the news direct from Japan to be far more useful than watching the American broadcast networks-which are obsessed with Fukushima Dai ichi nuclear power plant. A worry to be sure-but the sheer level of wreckage that the Tsunami caused is a lot more than that.
Its all in Japanese-but even if you don’t speak or read Japanese, there is still good coverage here.
We have been told S.O.’s mother is safe-but still have been unable to talk with her by phone. I suspect its going to be a few days before we can.
