Ganbatte Japan.･.･:★

Last Friday, after hanging out with my friend Seo Jin, I went home. When I came in the living room, my mom told me that bunch of waves, Tsunami swallowed the northern part of Japan. I was shocked. I turned the news and began to listen.

The tsunami waves swallowed the Japanese villages; cars flooded, hitting with each other, causing mass eruptions; people escaped into the schools covering their heads with bags or coats. People are terrified with the earthquake. The earthquake was 9.0 magnitude, and the whole world is now concentrated on Japan.

People lost each other: mothers lost their children; friends lost each other; couples separated from each other... (ＴｍＴ)ｳｩｩ･･･  In fact, it is very sad and I feel very sorry for them.

If everything stopped at this point, people have to appreciate the nature. However, even now, the earthquakes continue happening, and seismologists keep warning people of the next tsunami. People can't be relaxed even for one hour: they have to be anxious and worried about their separated family members and friends.



Furthermore,  Reactors No.1, 2, 3, 4 of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in Fukushima suffered the hydrogen explosion; thus people now have to be feared of the radiation... (;д;) 

I mean, all of these things happened just at once... like in some kind of miserable novel...

To say the truth, my friend who lives in the area where the Tsunami happened in Japan, is now missing. We are 6 year - "besties". I can't reach her. She doesn't pick her phone, doesn't reply on Twitter or on e-mail. I am very worried and just pray for her safety... ﾉД`)  I really wish that she's alive and in the safe place...

Fortunately, many Japanese people showed calmness in their behavior after this disaster. They don't panic. They didn't complain, blame or criticize. They yielded the supplies, and passed these supplies to children, elderly, or disabled people. I really admire their calmness... I mean it is amazing how these people could remain so calm and tranquil... I think Koreans should admire their calmness... If the earthquake happened in Korea, Koreans would say: "First, I'll save myself, and then think of others...", but in Japan, their motto is:"Others first, and then, I'll have mine."



Maybe someday everything will be Okay. Maybe someday people will meet each other again. And maybe someday, they will remember this disaster and talk about it. But for now, people all over the world are cheering Japan to recover from this disaster, get help, hope, and future. It is okay because we still have tomorrow and future...

Tsunami on March 12th, 2011



After the disaster, people poster in their Facebooks and other personal websites that Japan

actually deserves it. Americans think of Pearl Harbor; Koreans think of how the Japanese did mean and disgusting things to our ancestors. However, I think it is not funny when people actually die.

We can still help them.

Makenaide. Ganbatte Japan!

(Don't give up. Cheer Up Japan! Everything will be okay!)
