Never forget 3.11

3.11を忘れない

2013-03-12 Features

Two years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake. It occurred at 2:46pm on March 11, 2011 (JST) and 2,668 people are still missing (As of March 11, 2013). So the 3.11 Earthquake is not a thing of the past at all. So My Eyes Tokyo features the interviews with expats who had the earthquake and who have given aid to the devastated areas. Read them when you have time and pray for Tohoku’s recovery.
