Cracking pictures, Shiz.

Sendai was a beautiful city. I was there in August, and would have loved to have spent more time there.

I spent more time in Morioka and Lake Tawazako when I was in that area, but I do have a few photos of the city area.

Hmmmm not sure why they're not loading.

Some of the 'before & after' pictures of various towns are absolutely unbelievable

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Shiz has many pics from his footie trips in japan. The locals really seem to have taken to him and they all look such a friendly bunch and, as can be seen by those pics, football seems a real occasion out there.

How's it been in Shizuoka? Any damage? Panic? Fuji rumbling?

Shizuoka is functioning as normal mostly, although the rolling blackouts due to start tomorrow will reach halfway across the prefecture. No damage although we certainly felt the main quake. Some people have been panic buying from what I've heard, but to be honest, being out and about in town today you wouldn't have known the north was in such a mess.

After watching some of this unfold, my 9 year old daughter decided to try and raise some money to 'help Japan'. She baked some cakes and sold them outside of church this morning (good choice of venue!) and raised £47.20p. What a sweetheart.

Just checking in. Safe and well as Shizuoka is far from where it all went down. That said we felt a pretty big and long lasting quake even here. Was in Sendai for an away game last season and it's a wonderful city. Absolutely gutted for the people up there. Simply horrifying.

fabtastic to hear from you mate. Please do keep safe.

Our thoughts are with you all over there at the moment.

take care

Incredible footage: BBC News - Japan earthquake: Footage of moment tsunami hit

after the shock and horror of the initial disasters, its always the kindness and bravery of people that stays with me, the school where i work in Abu Dhabi raised in the region of £2000 for the Red Cross in NZ by holding a non uniform day. You should be very proud of your little girl

With the BBC reporting that a low level radioactive cloud could hit tokyo in 10 hours, is anyone else in the region beginning to get a bit nervous?
