11 de octubre de 2011 • Norm Masaji Ibuki
After the disaster on March 11th, the narrative then takes on a life of its own. The stories are raw, shot-in-the-stomach visceral, agonizing; they ripped through the soul.

There are so many stories. Tomo and …

Really? Seriously? Yes, unfortunately. Here’s just a sampling of some updates and comments from Facebookthat rant about Pearl Harbor and the tsunami, and how the U.S shouldn’t send any aid to …

Read Part 1 >>Saturday, March 12thMy friends and I woke up at 6:00 AM to see if any of the buses were running and going to the airport.

However, we couldn’t get through to the bus company and the hotel staff said no buses were running and all the taxis were in …
