Hi! Just found your blog as I was looking for some info/memories from my time in Fukushima-shi at the Fukushima English Center (2000). I really hope all those people will be ok!!!! It looks bad! I used to go to Namazute a lot with friends and it's cool to see your pictures. Let me know if you have any information about what is going on there right now. ARE YOU THERE RIGHT NOW???
