Tweets that touched my heart...I LOVE JAPAN!
A friend on FB shared this extract from Tweeter. I was reading this when i needed to cool down after the argument with hubby. These brought tears to my eyes (i was really weeping) and my earlier ranting was not significant at all compared to the tragedy in Japan now. As devastating as it is, I still try to catch the newstime for updated reports on Japan's situation. I take the opportunity to educate my kiddos though they find it 'boring' that the news kept on repeating about the Earthquake and Tsunami.
We are really a lucky bunch here. But that's life isn't it? We always envy other countries for having thr 4 seasons, cheaper luxury items and cities/ places they can explore in within their own country. But God is really fair, you get some you lose some.
Not that I'm very pleased with the current policies of our nation, but I count my blessings to be born in this country though I will really hope to move if there is chance :P

Very very touching 'voices' of the people....It reminds me of the warmth I felt when we were touring in Japan in 2008. Everywhere we go, the Japanese are so polite, well-mannered and service-orientated. This has to be in their culture all along...and during bad times like this, you can truly see...I love Japan...I will go back again someday..I will.
* ディズニーランドでの出来事

ディ ズニーランドでは、ショップのお菓子なども配給された。ちょっと派手目な女子高生たちが必要以上にたくさんもらってて「何だ？」って一瞬思ったけど、その 後その子たちが、避難所の子供たちにお菓子を配っていたところ見て感動。子供連れは動けない状況だったから、本当にありがたい心配りだった
At Tokyo Disneyland:
Tokyo Disneyland was handing out its shops’ food and drinks for free to the stranded people nearby. I saw a bunch of snobby looking highschool girls walking away with large portions of it and initially though “What the …” But I later I found out they were taking them to the families with little children at emergency evacuation areas. Very perceptive of them, and a very kind thing to do indeed.
* 渋滞した交差点での出来事

一 回の青信号で１台しか前に進めないなんてザラだったけど、誰もが譲り合い穏やかに運転している姿に感動した。複雑な交差点で交通が５分以上完全マヒする シーンもあったけど、１０時間の間お礼以外のクラクションの音を耳にしなかった。恐怖と同時に心温まる時間で、日本がますます好きになった。
At a congested downtown intersection …
Cars were moving at the rate of maybe one every green light, but everyone was letting each other go first with a warm look and a smile. At a complicated intersection, the traffic was at a complete standstill for 5 minutes, but I listened for 10 minutes and didn’t hear a single beep or honk except for an occasional one thanking someone for giving way. It was a terrifying day, but scenes like this warmed me and made me love my country even more.
* バス停で・・・

バスが全然来ない中、@saiso が、バス停の前にある薬局でカイロを買ってきて、並んで待ってる人みんなに配った！
Bus stop mini episode:
It was freezing and bus was taking ages to arrive. “@saiso” left the queue to run to a nearby pharmacy. He bought heating pads and gave one to everyone in the queue!
