It Has Been Three Years

It has been three years since the huge earthquake in the northern part of Japan and the breakdown of the nuke plants in Fukushima. Even now more than 150,000 people are living as refugees from the contaminated home. And even now we don't know why and how the accident happened.
But we, Japanese people are forgetting about the disaster quickly. People prefer happy things, fun things, and they are too busy about their own matters to worry for other people. It's a shame. And of course there is strong politics that lead us far from the bad memories. Wow! Olympic Games to come! It can make much money! Oh,no! Bad China and Korea must invade our country!
And, the Sendai nuke plant is expected to start re-operating soon. Abe Government is hurrying into the reviving the nuke plants and declare they use the nuke power as the basic source, as if there were no accident , no suffering of the people.
Do you know where the Sendai Nuke Plant is? It's in Kagoshima in Kyusyu Island; the southest part of Japan except Okinawa, about 1500km far from Tokyo, maybe not with big business. The same picture as the plant in Aomori. The people, the Government, and the big companies in Tokyo don't care such remote poor towns, and feel safe without danger. What a shame!
But actually, I was one of the stupid three years ago. When I was watching the picture of the exploding plants, I didn't imagine what was happening. I believed the speech of the government that said there was no problem about health right now. I did not support the nuke policy, but I knew nothing. I feel so much ashamed.

Happy news. The snow is retreating rapidly, and spring flowe
rs are popping in my garden now. After a long long winter, spring is coming!
