earthquake

2011

in 2010 i visited this amazingly tranquil country called JAPAN.

every aspect of this great land was overflown with a beautiful wave of acceptance, beauty and politeness. but this year my favourite place in the whole world was ripped to shreds by the disastrous effects of a earthquake which then triggered a mass wave that destroyed towns.

And as if that wasnt enough the country is know faced with nuclear leakage that has already caused heath issues due to radiation to thousands.

japan i know u will be hurt but you will rebuild

japan i love you thick and thin and right now i feel so powerless but i wish i was there lending a hand rebuilding this place of peace to its original state...
