One big wave, few minutes, destroyed the whole city
This is biggest earthquake in Japan, the Tsunami have at least 10 meters high, some areas were totally destroyed.
I read the news about Japan government and Japanese who live in Japan after this disaster.
Japan government ordered all the supermarket and convenient store give food and drink to people for free, then government will pay this bill later.
Even under this big disaster, people have a lot of stress, the internet and phone network totally down, all the people try to leave or try to go home as soon as they can, but Japanese have very strong self discipline,everything still in order, they are line up as usual, one by one, no matter to shop for the food or get into the evacuate bus, no one scream, no one push and no one cut into the line. The news reporter said this is only happen in Japan.....Japanese are too beyond in human being.
Japanese cannot stop the nature disaster but they could help each other after disaster.
Government efficient respond and arrangement, people have strong self discipline help them miminize the demage and mess after disaster.
Even Japanese gang group come out and help those people whose lost home or cannot go home, their efficiency can compare with professional evacuate team.
Foreigner who live in Japan describe Japanese like ants, the big wave destroyed their routine but they can build the new one very quick.
Many young people sleep on the street, they are not homeless, they are white collar who work in commercial center, they cannot go home because the train and long distant bus has stop after earthquake.
Government open all government office buildings and let people sleep there.
Japanese find their spot in shelter, read the news about after disaster and waiting for the food. People are calm and quiet.




Thank you for this wonderful blog and on your perspective on how the people of Japan are reacting and responding to this unprecedented disaster of extreme magnitude. I was in Haiti last year 22 hours after the earthquake and the two situations are beyond comparison. Japan is widely recognized as one of the best prepared nations in the world. While the tragedy is enormous hopefully the global community will learn lessons and will advance our global collective readiness to face such disasters in the future and advance our global solidarity in facing such devastations
