Dear Friends and Family,
I have been overwhelmed with the outpouring of thoughts and prayers from so many of you.
In Tokyo, we have some minor inconveniences such as interrupted train service and frequent aftershocks, but it nothing like what the people in the north of the country are experiencing.
I simply couldn’t stay inside today and just watch the news coverage, so I took my brother-in-law’s advice: I took my camera outside to see what was happening in my neighbourhood. The result is a ten-minute video about “panic buying” that you can see by pushing the link above or by going here:

Also, I have included below the update that I sent out yesterday, but that some of you may not have received.
Please keep all of the people affected by the tsunami as well as for the integrity of the nuclear reactors in your prayers.
