Planning for the rest of the summer


Oh I've missed Japanese food so much! I found that many stores and grocery stores are promoting produce from Fukushima and it's safety. Many farmers are struggling now as people are afraid of the food from the area even thought the radiation count has proved to be under the dangerous levels. The same goes with fish and other products from the area. This problem known as "Fuhyou-higai" (people not willing to purchase products out of fear) is posing to be a very large issue in Japan right now.

Went to the local store to buy masks and rubber boots to prepare for the volunteer trip up to Tohoku on June 4th.
