Earthquake, Tsunami and Nuclear leakage..... A complete package for changing your life!

Japan is not only famous of its manga, but also famous as the industrial country that makes many of the automotive and electronic products. Many smart robots are also produced in Japan. Japan is a country with not many natural resources, but have talented people in industry. No wonder, Japan becomes one of the developed countries in the world.

The success of Japan is not as easy as turning your palm. Maybe we’re awed by the success, but you know what? The Japanese work hard for it, because there’s so many unlucky factor of Japan, like lying in the earthquake belt and also volcanic chain. That makes most of the Japanese had ever run into disasters.

The last phenomenal disaster was the earthquake along with Tsunami and the nuclear leakage in March 11^th, 2011 with the power of 8.9 SR. Then just like a flash, Tsunami comes, rolling to the east coast of Honshu then continue its journey to the city of Sendai, Yamagata and Fukushima and also the capital of Japan, Tokyo. The wave stand about 7 meters height and ravage the buildings, ports, many houses and vehicles in the street. Luckily many buildings are tremor resistant, so there are some that are not vanished.

The Tsunami also destroy the nuclear power plants in Fukushima.T he nuclear leak and the dangerous radioactive affect people there. And that’s a devastating effect, because people can became poisoned by radioactive. Radioactive can make people suffered cancer and most likely they will die.

After-Tsunami and earthquake, many japanese are unemployed. But, Japanese were trying to start their bussiness again. One person that I know is a woman who opened an Onsen or hot water bath. Tsunami destroys her business place. After Tsunami, she opened the onsen but in a smaller scale. Since there was no electricity, she heated the water manually. The loyal customers came and she slowly got enough money to build a bigger onsen. Because of her effort to collect money and build her onsen, she now owns an Onsen that’s similar as the one she had before Tsunami.

From the Japanese story after Tsunami happened, we can learn to be strong in what we faced and put some effort to get what we want.
