Full Circle to Tokyo, Japan


March 11, 2011, I was in a hotel room in Shanghai watching the aftermath of the tsunami/earthquake that killed thousands in Japan. The Japanese people mourned, and rebuilt, and the world mourned with them, and helped them rebuild. One small and insignificant ramification is that it was the day before my flight was supposed to leave for Tokyo. So it took me a year to finally make it to Japan, a country my grandparents generation was at war with – a country that is now one of our closest allies. And that’s a testament to them. And to us. And to humanity. And if you visit, it’s a blast.

    Link exchange is nothing else however it is simply placing the other person’s web
    site link on your page at appropriate place and other person will also
    do similar for you.

  5. Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple
    ipad and tested to see if it can survive
    a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My
    iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
    I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!
