Well well.
Hannah has um... put on a bit of weight. |
It's all go here: We're down in Osaka now but as you can imagine there is a lot of confusion about what we will do. Some folk might say "What is there to be confused about? Earthquakes, tsunami, radiation = Leave Japan guys!"
But it's really not that simple. We have half of our gear in Tokyo, accommodation sorted in Tokyo, job interviews coming up in Tokyo and we feel also our future is in Tokyo. Don't forget we have been planning this trip to Japan for quite some time and thus don't want to chuck in our plans at the merest obstacle that comes our way. One of the reasons we chose to come to Japan was for a new and thrilling challenge - now we weren't expecting a bloody earthquake but c'est la vie as they say in Invercargill.
The confusion comes from reading so many different news sources and speaking with different people and obviously family and friends fears back home. We have also talked to friends in Tokyo the say it's not as bad there as the news media make it out to be. But still there lurks in the back of the mind a "shiz - what should we do" feeling.
But in summary we thank you for all your concerns - it's amazing to see how many people from all over our lives care for us. Poetically all continue in Osaka as normal.
We'll let you know what we do. Please all know that we are being careful.
P.s. Beyond the horror - we are having an amazing time - we love Japan so much.
