Hi Mike!; Good to hear that you are well !. Also glad to hear too that although the electricity has been rationing in Kyoto still you have it. Do you have gas in Kyoto? Is also the gas been rationing in Kyoto?. What did you make from the hearing heartbreaking message from Fumiko explaining the reality of those people from the affected areas who electricity and gas doesn't reach them and are exposed to nuclear radiation ...etc?. It's kind of difficult for the ones who have never been in Japan and are not there to witness the situation to get to the bottom of the situation. we would all like in here to know the reality of the situation in Japan at all levels. From what you are saying the picture I'm gathering is that there are the areas in which the direct tragedy has not reached but still is busy due to the evacuation taking place in affected areas. How it comes that if Kyoto is not affected the electricity has been rationing?. Is the gas also been rationing?. May I ask you to tell us what is the real reality about all those people Fumiko mention in her short note and nobody seems to talk about them here in the west?. How serious is the radiation escape from the central nuclear?. How much affected will the goods, growing vegetables, fruits trees by the radiation?. Or the radiation will be clear in short time? According to Edgar post warning the ingenuous, the FBI has warned the population to be cautious with all the scum that will take advantage and make money out of Japan situation. Indeed, the alike thing tends to happen in wars, starvation in some areas of the world, children in need, homeless....and the ones who take advantage of the human misery to make business through that. So upsetting and sad!. The worse damage this kind of people do is that when then comes somebody genuine, people get suspicious about them. How can the thirst for money be so blind and not realice the damage that can be caused by using human tragedies?. Don't understand this. Thank you again for writing and let us know that you are well.

Thanks for your thoughtful message : ) but it's kinda embarrasing because Kyoto is where people are evacuating to and not from. Still, it's reassuring to have so many people across the world concerned for us here. Thank you so much!
