The Japanese have to be commended for their persistence and ingenuity. I suppose it comes from their recent history (two A-bombs and a complete flattening by our gallant lads). The death toll is expected to reach 28K and God knows how many homeless have to be housed and their lives completely restarted. It's completely beyond proper comprehension for those of us fortunate enough to have all we could want.We're still hoping to travel as planned. All flights are reported as normal at the moment so we're getting kitted up for the excursion with the latest from D&G - that's Disposal and General.
