did you understand that this picture is about the story of Japanese in the UK that want to say thanks to their fellow UK people for their charity and emotional support? It also passes on a message back to people in Japan..

"People who are spitting vitriol against a plant they are not educated on sounds like xenophobic rednecks saying all black people are criminals when they never even been close to a black person."
So people who are against "the plant" have never come into contact with people that use it to form their opinions....might be true in Japan but not elsewhere. Being blind to the negative impact of things...mmm wonder why that is

Reminds me of when Japanese or Americans when first driving in Europe.
Basically often hear and see they are not used to making decisions for your self at junctions / roundabouts, etc.. ...more used to being told to stop/start by traffic lights.

People in japan are most certainly not panicking overall...that is very very obvious just by a simple survey of Japanese in Japan and the focus of the news coverage. Its the foreigners in or now left Japan that are way more famous for panic.

talk of major panic...more locally, I thought the panic was happening in China and certainly have seen plenty of panic within the usa about this already...just look at some of the tv coverage that has become famous now.

I guess because she originally announced her wedding selfishly on air in a bubble air head way..this apart from the apology at the time because of that is another way to apologise for this particular person. Got to think of her job and image.

How are they going to pay to rebuild their houses? (..after the ship has been moved.) Presumably at the same spots where they own the land.
Will they redesign some town layouts?

The focus should be on humanitarian disaster from the HUGE wave and not only focusing/asking questions about this side show; especially when it is put in perspective and explained its safe for citizens, especially those that live miles away(tokyo). For most, you are more at danger taking a flight to Rome where radiation levels are higher in that city than Tokyo (and also the radiation on the flight).

I also think there should be a multiple choice test for those that return to the country... to test what they actually have learnt following all this hype on the reactor. I bet what they would have learnt about what has is happening is minimal. I bet they are just carried by the wave of hype. It could be an interesting study into disaster management or certain individuals suitability in managing situations different to their daily life.

yep I also echo cleo's point in some way, in that I wish world reporters would stop reporting from tokyo and do their job and report on those in REAL difficulties.
There are serious concerns about the relief effort, people dying who survived the quake. But none of this is reported in the foreign media, its almost invisible.
All the reporters have left the area. I think in a way that is disgusting. DO your job and go to the disaster area ( not the plant - that is a distraction)or you might as well just be reporting from your offices in London, New York or Paris you are miles away from where its happening.
After watching many sources, the only way you can find out about the actual disaster that has actually happened and the danger still faced is by watching NHK domestic. World new is pretty useless.
