As a result of the earthquake in Japan and the continued problems with restoring power, most places have significantly reduced their use of electricity. Here is an example. We went to McDonald`s tonight for dinner and the lights were out. We thought it was closed but as we entered we saw people sitting in the dark and eating. There was light by the register of course since they need power to run the register and cooking side of things.
It was a very interesting experience and a reminder of the situation we live in. Conserving electricity is a major priority in Japan and it shows how willing people and businesses are to sacrifice convenience for the sake of others.
The video is dark and disorienting. I took it for me so I can remember this time one day and for you readers so you can experience a little of what it is like in Japan for us.
Things are back to normal in a way, but still there is uncertainty lurking. There are signs of the times that can either terrify you or make you thankful to be alive and well.
I am happy that your family is doing better. The trauma that individuals in the country are feeling relates to that uncertainty. I hope that you an your family are doing something to create healing. Be well WH
