Just after the quake. Breads had gone at the supermarket.
About one week later. Things came back but it was a little dark in the supermarket because of saving on electricity.
The disaster said to be the worst in Japan in one thousand years. Even here, south of Tokyo, is 300km from earthquake center, I felt big shaking. Over a month after the quake, I started to think about the quake and tsunami calmly. Until in the middle of April I was nervous and scared about aftershocks.
I phoned a friend of mine living in Sendai, disaster area. Her husband was going on business trip when the quake occured. She and three kids went to a shelter. They were given a pack or two packs of rice per day, per family. She said "We had a hard time but we are lucky. Think of the coastal areas. We have our house, clothes, foods." Even in the disaster area, people can care about other people, I thought.
