Japan: Earth Quake, Tsunami and Nuclear Explosion!

11 March 2011
The massive earthquake brought a powerful tsunami and aftershocks that devastated Japan recently (some photos below) will make us think of what’s life after this disaster.

Natural disasters like this happen continuously anywhere in the world; since time immemorial. Many have been displaced and will take years before they can get them back in their usual way of life. Our hearts goes out for everyone affected. Affected, not only Japan per se, but every one of us…, as everybody is connected in only one circle of life.

We only need prayers for a divine mercy from our Creator who gives us and takes everything we think we own.

Like any other nation, Japan will definitely rise up again, and to help them do that, consider Japan in your next visit in the future to help them boost their tourism.  This could be one of our gesture to help them build their beautiful nation again.
