Welcome

Thank you for the thousands of emails in support of the original translations of Japanese Twitter accounts of the March 11th quake on my Facebook note, "Japan Quake as Seen from Twitter". Now, together with ten classmates and friends in the University of Cambridge, I have launched this blog to continue translating the voices of the Japanese people on their road to recovery.

More Food than We Ordered

My family in Sendai (close to epicenter) had ordered some food from Nagoya (in the south, not directly affected).  Today, because the postal system was down, my sister went to the postal service center to collect the package.  When she returned, my family was surprised to see how big and heavy the package was.  Upon opening it, we found much more food than we had ordered, together with a hand-written note saying "Don't give up!"  Amazing!

妹が名古屋のお店から営業所止で買った荷物を受け取りに行ったら、やたらとデカくて重い。不思議に思いながら開けたら「ガンバ!」というメッセージと共にカップ麺とかがパンパンに詰まってた。家族全員感動。
