It has been more than 2 weeks since the devastating earthquake hit the northeastern part of Japan and giant tsunami swallowed the coastal towns in the northeast. Tokyo didn't suffer much damage except for the occasional controlled blackouts and reduced train services. There is less food on the shelves at grocery stores and convenience stores, but it is mostly due to fear of food shortage.
We were all safe at our office in Tokyo. As with the rest of the country, we are praying for the early recovery of the heavily damaged part of Japan and the safety of the evacuated people.
