One year onThe people of Japan have made a stunning recover, one year on from the tragic earthquake and tsunami that devastated its Tohoku area coastline on March 11th, 2011.

<br />
During the next few days, Voices From Japan will once again translate tweets of the people on the ground, giving you the human side of the story that headlines may not be able to.

Less and less is covered about the people struggling to live, and of some of the wonderful stories that happened on the ground. <br />

One of these stories took place in Kesenuma, the city that was completely wiped out in the tsunami. Amidst the destruction, one building that still stands. It is a building that saved 1,000 lives and 500 vehicles ... and it wasn't a coincidence. <a href="http://spacetravelsacrime.com/tohoku-earthquake/2011/4/12/a-parking-lot.html">Here</a> is its story by <a href="http://spacetravelsacrime.com/about-me/">Wesley Cheek</a>.Jun Shiomitsuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10095036275824359902noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289091825911694489.post-77398379314410660032011-04-12T01:19:00.000-07:002011-04-12T01:19:27.457-07:00Japanese Prime Minister Thanks The World<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OPz0OvJK7vM/TaQJ5srXNNI/AAAAAAAAACc/JlIb85H7kro/s1600/DSC_4275-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
