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.

Free Bottled Water from Hokkaido

My father just drove huge amounts of water to the “aid supplies collection point” for areas that still had standing houses and people living in them. We have been buying water from Kagoshima regularly, so we have enough to go around the family. But today, some curry powder we had ordered from a shop in Hokkaido arrived together with lots of free bottled water. Thank you, to the kindness of the curry shop in Hokkaido. 

(Original Japanese Text)
父が大量の水を持って家のある市の支援物資集積所に向かった。常に鹿児島から水を取り寄せているので問題なかったのだが、いつもカレーを取り寄せている北海道の会社からご好意で水が送られてきたからだ。北海道の会社の方の気持ちに感動した。
