Japanese spirit

Following the catastrophe that hit Japan on 11 March this year, the nuclear plant located at the Fukushima prefecture underwent a series of explosions which led to serious leaking of nuclear radiation. Tens of thousands died and went missing due to the 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami attack. People living within 30km radius from the plant were evacuated. Raw spinach and milk from the vicinity have been tested positive for nuclear radiation. Nuclear crisis has become an international concern now and people could not help but feel helpless and miserable at moment like this. In fact, many wonder if this is the end that we've been reading and hearing all this while.

Nevertheless, it definitely is not the end for Japan. Being a country that created dozens of superhero characters that give so much fantasies and hopes to so many people around the world, Japan never stop giving hope and comfort to us even after experiencing such catastrophe. I was truly astonished by how optimistic and how organised they are while handling the aftermath of the disasters. The video below for example, is enough to show how amazing the Japanese are.



Once again, lets hope Japan recuperates soon.
