Well, my friend and coworker from Sage Bistro Joyce is in Sendai, Japan right now. We all know about the recent 9.0 earthquake that hit Japan on the 11th of March. Well, it hit Sendai particularly hard. Actually, the epicenter was near Sendai. Apparently, aerial photographs of the region look like a playpen of kids' toys - mangled, ripped up, and smashed. Not to mention the aftershocks and the potential nuclear power plant meltdown. I really liked Sendai when I was there last month. I hope the city redevelops itself to its former glory after these troubling times.
My thoughts and hopes to Joyce, her students, colleagues, friends and community. I hope they can stay safe and unharmed in the upcoming and challenging weeks or months ahead. If you're reading this Joyce, here are some pictures for you to remember better days...
awwww..thank you Paul. Seeing those pictures made me cry. I really hope things would go back to normal REAL SOON!
ReplyDeleteThese photos are a good record of some of the fun times you enjoyed in Sendai last month. Our thoughts and hearts go out to you, Joyce, and others during this time of great suffering.
