This is very devistating.

I don't think Japan is a wealthy nation (compared to Sudia Arabia, Kuwait). Certainly no wealthier than Canada. I think they are still recovering from a ression that has lasted 10+ years.

This nuclear disaster is very concering. How much land will be contaminated, they did not have that much to start with. Then you have all those people just stacked in the area. Reports of evacuation of 180,000 people in a 12 mile radius. That is dense.

I think we only see the most affluent japanese here. Like most, only the most affluent can afford travel here. I don't think we see many of the regular japanese people, the plumbers, bakers and candle stick makers.

God Bless them.
