Mon in Japan - I've seen more than my share of human suffering in my short 46 years, in war zones and natural disaster area, but as it was in Indonesia in 2004/2005 when the earthquake and tsunami struck that area, the ravaged wasteland in Japan is almost beyond comprehension, and doesn't resemble where humans once lived at all....

Tues in Japan - One foot in front of the other today, and the lone Japanese guy riding a sidewalk cleaner will stay with me a very long time. Back and forth like a metronome he cleans the sidewalk on the departure side of the sendai airport, waiting for the day when people will return here. If one man is that devoted to a single sidewalk, how much greater even are the Japanese people devoted to the recovery of their island nation. Enough, I think.
