Having lived through 3/11 in Tokyo I must say we are a bit surprised by the level of concern / reports of hoarding / general level of fear. Perhaps it is because of 3/11? We are coming back home to Tokyo in less than 2 weeks and will be interested to see the bare shelves in our local grocery stores... I get it -- no one wants to miss a "big one" -- but this level of concern is surprising to us...
Is NHK running disaster prep spots 24/7? Our family in western Japan is giving this all a big yawn lol...
