Tokyo Remains Stoic Amid Japan-Is-Doomed
Reports By William Pesek
When I think of all the things I could do in Tokyo, I
never imagined hugging three strange 70-year-olds.
In this city it is difficult to show affection in the
streets, but nevertheless when there are problems like me, there was an
accident in the train station, there were several strangers and we organized
and got together to save our lives.
When the earthquake ended we separated and each one
went to his home or place of work, since in cities as big as Tokyo there are
many natural disasters, when I see the news about Japan on CNN it makes me want
to buy weapons and do a bunker.
When I leave my house in Tokyo everything seems to be
working normally, the children are running at school, the cafeterias are open,
the runners and cyclists are there, the barber shop on the corner is open and
the trains are running on time.
Then I realize that the newspaper still arrives, the
mail is the same, that even though they have these natural disasters,
everything works and they are adapted to this type of situation.
And you find people who sell honey at half price or
special price for the earthquake.
In Japan, the street of Shibuya is well known, there are many young
people and they are with the same normality as always in situations like this,
thinking about looks, and the Japanese police working as always.
As citizens here in this city, I have noticed that everyone is united,
not because it is a country with a lot of natural disaster, they run to other
countries, they prepare to be able to continue with their lives, they have many
buildings adapted for these disasters, bottled water, supplies , they choose to
stay in their country and continue to do their best.
I would ask the media not to be so alarmist when sharing news about this country in others, when I see news of this type from anywhere in the world in my home it makes me want to have a drink or a hug.
In Japan people could lament saying that everything is the fault of the
bible than because nothing else to them, if there was something predicted in
it, because the water rose and collapsed businesses, trains, houses, something
out of a movie.
It is very shocking to see disasters like this, living them is a totally
different experience than seeing on television, sometimes I imagine that this producer
Jerry Bruckheimer could suddenly yells "Cut!" as his last apocalyptic
ended blockbuster starring Nicolas Cage or Bruce Willis. Filming the 2012
sequel, it's really impressive.
I really like how in Tokyo there are so many people, only on weekends is
when there are always so many food stalls with endless lines.
Walking through the streets I interviewed a 51-year-old accountant, this
person told me that he had lived here all his life and that he never thought he
should fight for bread, milk and beer, he said that it was like a horror movie
to see all this.
On the other hand, in Japan we find that its national currency is the
yen, normally there is surreal news of the price of the yen for foreigners to
come and know, the yen reaches its post-war maximum, that is, it is at the
price ceiling.
When I visited the electronics stores, I realized that in Japan electronic devices fly, that is, I tried to find the latest technology in the market and in Japan there was no longer any, it would be good luck if I find one of these
I realized that the losses increase with each blackout, each
businessman, and each television report in Japan is given to failure.
As we well know that in Japan there are many disasters, from one moment
to another it ceases to be the country that it claims to be, at one moment to
another, they are looking for water, equipment, shelter.
They are always trying their best
during
Turbulent times that we hope will
end soon.
In the midst of all this in Tokyo, we can say that death here is tremendously
premature.
