It just gets worse over there...
Now temperatures are plummeting, snow is falling.
In Tokyo the streets are very quiet, everyone is staying indoors.
The Yen is rising massively, new all time high against the Dollar again , the previous record stood since 1995! (investors are piling in assuming repatriation of funds to pay for insurance pay-outs and reconstruction).. this is not what the already struggling Japanese companies will want to hear.
It is now turning into both a humanitarian AND an economic nightmare.
Also we now here that the people are losing respect for the Governemnt... this is unheard of in Japan, unheard of.

Hard to say, given that in the last decade or so, they're changing governments like I change clothes. All else. though, is very much spot on. I have faith in them, however. They're a survivor people.

actually yes... perhaps I should have said authority figures rather than government...

Ah, that I get. Indeed, that is not something you usually see there.
