NoFakie 45 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 The road is very impressive. Fuel still seems to be supply problem number one for the tsunami victims, so lets hope they can get some tankers rolling along there straight away. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Today. Brainless idiots ('anarchists' they say, does that word just mean 'dickhead' or 'moron' or something) rampaging around London smashing the windows of banks, hotels and the like. Contrast to what is happening in Japan. Makes me absolutely sick to see, it really does. Link to post Share on other sites

foreversnow 5 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 This is an email doing the rounds in Australia at the moment. I think it sums up the Japanese People perfectly. In Australia are we as good? 10 THINGS To LEARN FROM JAPAN 1. THE CALM Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated. 2. THE DIGNITY Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture. 3. THE ABILITY The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn't fall. 4. THE GRACE People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something. 5. THE ORDER No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding. 6. THE SACRIFICE Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid? 7. THE TENDERNESS Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak. 8. THE TRAINING The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that. 9. THE MEDIA They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage. 10. THE CONSCIENCE When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly. Link to post Share on other sites

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 There was a documentary on tonight about the British rescue team that went over a few days after the earthquake for over a week to help and try to find survivors. It was actually quite good. They asked some of the guys about what they thought of things and a few said that they will never ever forget the way the Japanese were for the rest of their lives. They had nothing but complete respect for them. It was quite moving. Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I watched that too. As you say really moving. Link to post Share on other sites
