It's the news over here (and probably over there in the States as well). I just came back from Japan yesterday, but seeing the news over here I really start to worry, even though I know it's ridiculous... not for myself of course but those in Northern Japan.

Oh yes, I'm definitely worried about how people in Northern Japan are doing. But I'm not particularly worried about myself. Let's just keep hoping that things calm down at Fukushima soon!

Glad I read this post because the media here in the States really is feeding off of our fears and sensationalizing everything. I was starting to get very worried about you and John with all the reports about the radiation and such.

I emailed my host mom a few days ago but still haven't heard back from her. I really hope she and her family are okay. I haven't talked to her for years, so it's possible she changed her email. Still very worried about her though.

I've been reading links to science blogs and such in the hopes that they're a bit more accurate. Obviously things aren't puppies and cotton candy here in Tokyo, but I don't think that there's a good reason to start flailing in panic, either. We're okay!
