Green tea made by 5 Shizuoka plants found contaminated with radiation:
the shizuoka government asked 5 tea manufacturing plants to stop shipping green tea because they found radioactive cesium in excess of the legal limit. what do i think? well, isn’t shizuoka over 400 kilometers away from fukushima? isn’t shizuoka past chiba, tokyo, and shonan? i think the government should step up testing foods in other prefectures too because eating radioactive foods can’t be good for the health. us older people are ok. i’m just worried about the kids.
Japan’s richest man challenges nuclear future with nationwide solar plans:
Billionare Masayoshi Son is planning to build solar farms to generate electricity. he’s already got the support from at least 33 of japan’s 47 prefectures. what do i think? i love solar. and i love when somebody has the balls and money to take on japan’s electric monopoly, TEPCO. masayoshi son own’s softbank and right after march 11th, i heard he donated $1,000,000 to the disaster victims. i also heard that he didn’t charge victims in tohoku their phone fees. and in april, mr. son pledged to donate 10 billion yen and his salary until retirement to help support disaster victims. i’m dam proud to be a softbank user. when company ceo’s step up like this, i’ll support them all the way. and the most i can do is to use my softbank phone more and more.

Paradise Shock!
imagine sitting at the airport getting ready for a trip to paradise. you drive 3 hours to the airport, you check in, you get your ticket, you board the airplane, starting to get excited, your on the runway, 1 hour passed, then 2 hours pass, then all of a sudden “excuse me passengers, we are experiencing problems with this aircraft. this flight is cancelled, now get off the plane!
that’s what happened to toda-san, takami-san, and naoka. they were supposed to be in hawaii today surfing the perfect head high waves with me, instead, their at narita trying to get another flight.
i know how shocking it must be. that’s part of traveling and the way i look at it is: everything happens for a reason. what if that airplane broke in the air? abunai!
anyway, hope to see the 3 in hawaii tomorrow. cross your fingers.
as for the surf? BIG WEDNESDAY! that’s tomorrow. stay tuned!
as for the trees at bowls? i’m still SHOCKED!
as for japan, i’m still thinking about you all. NEVER FORGET!
as for mission 4, JULY 22 START. WE ARE ONE!
