Things are improving here in Japan.

Thanks for the kind messages by email and on Facebook. We are safe and my family is doing well. I really thought about leaving Japan and moving back to Australia, but things are improving and I now believe there is no need to panic and leave immediately.

I have been watching both Japanese news and CNN, and it’s very interesting to find out there are a big gap in what they believe. However, I think Rob said enough about the disaster. So I will tell a bit more about our daily stuff.

Just in case, people are wondering what I am doing everyday, I am enjoying a total holiday in Japan. I have been looking for a job but my town, Shunan, is too small to have a short contracted job. I will try again in May, and might move to Hiroshima or Fukuoka for a month. Well, I am THINKING about it.


Meanwhile, I have been helping mum with washing, cleaning, and cooking, so please don’t call me ‘slack’.

On the other hand, Rob is doing really well. He goes to a swimming pool and a gym everyday. He has lost 5kg already!! He has also made a few friends there. I will ask him to write more about his ‘Japanese friends’.
