It’s been twenty-five days since the earthquake, and life has returned to normal in Tokyo. It’s spooky, really, how quickly the status has once again become quo ante. If it wasn’t for the news, you would think that nothing happened at all a bit less than a month ago.

Being here, now, has really been an incredible experience; I’ve seen how amazing people can be when ‘shit’ and ‘fan’ intersect. Quite possibly the most surprising thing has been that I literally can’t volunteer to help — there have been so many volunteers, both foreign and domestic, that aid organizations are fully booked.

That’s a really good problem to have.

I want to personally thank the people that helped out by donating to my group on WePay. Your donations have been sent directly to the Red Cross, and will go to helping the people of northern Japan rebuild their shattered lives.
