Text of the page (random words):
japanese light skip to main skip to sidebar japanese light some differences some similarities wednesday september 21 2011 curiosity best left to cats it seems i only post about natural disasters this year the current typhoon which has closed all schools in nagoya today has once again seen incidences of people being washed away by swollen rivers the most tragic example happened yesterday when an 8 year old boy on his way home from school was lost to river flooding in tajimi north of nagoya my wife commented during the typhoon a couple of weeks ago why is it that people always get washed away during typhoons the sad fact is that of those who have been lost over the last two days the majority have been men in their 50 s to 80 s it is not only sad because of the loss of life but also because they perhaps should have known better in one exemplary incident a retired man announced that he was just off to have a look at the condition of the river and wasn t heard from again this sparked a conversation at work today and the fact that it is on the whole only old men getting washed away lead one senior teacher to the conclusion that nobody else is daft enough to go and stand by a raging river in a typhoon commiserations to the families of those lost to the typhoon and words of warning to the over 50 s in japan for this will not be the last typhoon japan sees just remember that thousands of tons of muck laden raging river can be dangerous and that curiosity is sometimes best left to the cat posted by nick benwell at 1 54 pm no comments monday march 21 2011 the last week and a bit to begin with red cross japan tsunami appeal i have spent the long weekend in turn drunk crabby fatherly and cleaning nothing to do with priorities friends from tokyo staying with another friend provided the first the next was unavoidable and the last two are default settings i have spent the last week and a bit in shock sadness fear shaking working being a father and husband and wondering whether i should be leaving japan it s not such an easy decision as i imagined when i was younger radiation quakes family leave now and never come back bought a flat last year though got a full time job and my wife is starting a new one next week been in japan for 11 years worked fairly hard in some ways to be in the situation i am in now and who is going to walk away from that without checking a few things first earthquakes we have always lived with the knowledge that it could happen right now it did not in my area we discussed what we could do we cried when we saw the rescue team from the uk arrive on the scene again nothing to do with priorities we sent money to the japanese red cross i did a little disaster prevention in the home i mailed friends in tokyo to come and stay i watched as damon did the opposite and went to the disaster zones to take photographs for a client our house wasn t shaking anymore i bought my daughter a protective hat there were only 2 quakes that i felt here one more while asleep i heard i got an i phone the week before the first quake hit i was at work when it did the school moved like it had been plonked on top of a cross channel ferry i downloaded the bbc news app in the constant search for information to make sense of the situation my fingers left the screen when they had to if i have one complaint about the iphone it is that with all other mobiles they can be charged by emergency hand powered generators but not the i phone facebook was taken over by links comments and expressions of shock one friend in tokyo gave almost minute by minute accounts of the shakes it put me on edge and i was glad when she came to nagoya to get away it seemed like nothing had happened here people out shopping my work going on as usual food in the shops gas in the heater it didn t balance out the japanese news was now even more difficult to understand nhk kept up their translated news service staunch work the tsunami images were unbelievable images of the indonesia tsunami overlayed upon small japanese coastal towns then the fukushima problem now the chance that as well as the appalling loss of life the effects on the japanese economy the expected tax rises and the heightened worry that we could be next we may have another another what 3 mile island chernobyl who knew the reaction to the japanese earthquake and fukushima plant problem by many people and by some news services was hysterical to say the least i was in a panic my wife told me to spend more time with her and our daughter than with our computer in my mind i was only trying to find out more about the dangers we faced i posted on a newspaper site that i thought we needed level headed reporting i just wanted to know what was going on one foreign resident daniel kahl uploaded a plea for non sensational reporting to you tube it seemed like a nice idea but i couldn t help thinking that beyond that we need to have a little more self control 自己管理 jiko kanri in japanese self management spaces like facebook and twitter were never set up for disasters but they have been used for so much more in recent weeks opinions can reach many people in the blink of an eye and there is no controlling voice of reason to say hang on a minute nor should there be like i say i panicked i looked for information where i could find it many people did the same below are the links i posted to facebook over the past week or so in chronological order some are news mostly the bbc who i found to be un sensational and informative though i have no idea what their reporting was like at home others are sites that friends posted the light relief were just that march 21st randall munroe if you are basing radiation safety procedures on an internet png image and things go wrong you have no
