Prep.
An overdue post! I haven’t blogged in years.. This is part of the requirement for the Youth Ambassador for Tohoku project, so I’ll be updating this space soon!
I’ll be flying off tomorrow night to Japan, specifically the Tohoku area; Sendai, etc, the areas that were hit by the earthquake and tsunami back in March. I got to know about this project when my friend reposted the link on her Facebook wall, so I signed up. And yay, I got it! Japan is such a wonderful country with such nice people, it’s really sad what happened. I hope that they can recover soon and fast with the help of the rest of the world, and taking part in this project is about the best I can do. I’m not rich enough to donate a ton of money, only donated a bit, neither do I have the resources or experience to go to the disaster area and help in volunteer work or rebuilding, etc.
I hope everyone continues to visit Japan and help boost their tourism and contribute by shopping, and also to realize that the radiation is not just in Japan, so there is no need to avoid it like the plague. We are all exposed to radiation on a daily basis when we go under the sun. Also, the wind plays a part in carrying the particles or whatever to other places. The radiation level in Paris is higher than in Tokyo right now. Japan is safe!
I’ve been busy, and I finally have time to pack my luggage now.. less than 24 hours before I fly.
