1. i wanted to thank again everybody from the bottom of my heart for
\nthe ongoing support for tohoku. we’re still getting support from all
\nover the world and it’s a great feeling. when i pulled up to naoka’s
\nhouse yesterday, i was surprised on how many boxes of warm clothes,
\ncandy, okinawa snacks, and even a letter of messages from kids sent from
\nokinawa. if it wasn’t the support from all of you, our missions would
\nbe impossible. anyway, we loaded up van 1 of 2, and headed up north. a
\nlong 6 hour drive.
\n2. driving up this time was much different than the first time. the
\nroads are fixed and back to normal now. when we pull over at the
\nparking stops for a break, there are lots of tourists. before, there
\nwere only a few people which included search and rescue, military, and
\nvolunteers. it was a much different feeling back then, nobody was
\nsmiling. it was nice to see people going back to their normal lives.
\n3. i was monitoring the radiation all the way from chigasaki and
\ntokyo. it kept going up and up as we got closer to fukushima. i took a
\nnap and then the alarm went off. levels as much as 0.97 recorded on
\nthis geiger counter as the alarm sounded for over 30 minutes.
\nwe had a nice dinner in sendai with kiku-chan last night. it’s 5:30 am
\nnow and we are going with her to onagawa, which was one of the worst hit
\nplaces in japan. on our last trip, we drove by and couldn’t believe the
\ndamage. nothing was left, even the solid foundation of buildings were
\nall but gone. reality will sink in as 8 of us will visit some same
\nplaces we did back in early april. i’m sure the memories will all come
\nback. i’m just hoping for improvements. these next 2 days will inform
\nus, and hopefully the world, on how much japan has come back, and how
\nmuch things are still the same. i better get going. i had a bear named
\n“toda-san” sleeping next to me snoring all night. the thunder sound and
\nvibrations going through my ear plugs. still jet lag, still tired, but
\ni’m ready to hit the road. stay tuned.<\/p>\n
