I received this update from a Japanese friend in Tokyo. He took the above picture was of Shibuya Crossing, which is one of the most lit-up places in a city with a LOT of really lit-up places. Those of you who have seen Lost in Translation might recognize it from the scene where Scarlett Johansson goes exploring and passes that giant dinosaur on the screen. Anyway, here's the latest:
People around Tokyo scare about radioactive and equally scared electric shortage. Night in Tokyo, no much lights in street. Attached picture is taken at scramble crossing in Shibuya. If we keep short the electricity till summer.... I don't want even think about that...
People in Japan are more or less obsessed with this disaster and living with sad feeling. We shouldn't forget victims but we need to release our mind apart from this sometime. Otherwise we are stifled with the sadness...
