What I Can Do Cloth
On today's internet news, it mentioned about the A4 size cloths made by Kobe city (former damaged area by the Great Hanshin earthquake back in 1995) and also Hakuhodo, one of the major advertising companies in Japan). These cloths will be used by volunteers at the site of 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.
The cloths are colored by what the volunteers are good at. Such as RED for medical treatment and nursing, BLUE for language such as sign language, foreign language etc. YELLOW is used for special skills such as carpentry, hair cutting. GREEN for daily help such as physical labor etc.
It recalled me something that I saw at ER or some TV drama that devide people (in that case injured) by different colored tag to make it easier to see the level of damage.
I am sure the cloth will make it easier for the people to know who should ask for the help they need.
My friend in Tokyo sent me email that there are still aftershocks going on (that friend of mine is SUPER stable lady so she seems to back in normal in that circumstances. She said she is having Shabu Shabu party at home this weekend which is great).
Assume there are years to take for the people at site to get back to normal though, I hope for the best.

Thank you for friends all over the world
To start this blog, I would like to show my appreciation to my friends and host family oversea.
They are kind enough to remember me at this time of the tragedy in Japan and sent me messages via email and via facebook.
Special thank you to Vickie who was my eBay customer while back in 2006.
She found me via facebook and offered me to have her potassium iodide pills. We had lost contact for about 4 years. She sent me a message through my old English blog once in 2008 but I did not find the way to contact her at that time. This time she tried to find me and she did. Arigato m(. .)m.
I received many messages from friends in the US, Germany, China, Italy, England, Australia and Belgium if I did not forget any. I felt very much loved and happy that there are many people concern about me.
To return the favor to my friends and family, I opened this blog to provide info that I get from this incident, the earthquake and the nuclear power plant stuff.
I believe right now in Japan, there are much info that we probably do not have or pay attention much in usual time. I am hoping to share it with you my friends hoping that will be some help when you have some emergency situation in the future.
If you have any request, please do let me know!!
xoxo
