After 10 days I still have no words to express all this pain that I have in my heart!

I know that Japan lost many innocent lives, but if this kind of disaster had happened in some other country, we would have million of dead people! I’m proud of Japanese people! Their respect, culture and intelligence, saved million of lives!

With all my love and respect,
