Woo Wee Min from Singapore was visiting his girlfriend in Shizuoka, when the earthquake hit. He tells about his admiration of what he saw the next day:
"The day after the quake, life went on as usual in the area where I lived, which escaped disaster. Residents could have chosen to stay indoors and be afraid, but instead they were out and about, calmly stocking up on essentials such as water and rice, and patronising the local pachinko parlour, supermarket, restaurants and cafes as if it were a routine weekend.
People chose to continue with life rather than be afraid, despite the unstated collective sense that more disaster might strike at any time."
