I have been asked by several people, “why not come home?”
Let’s look at the reasons to come home.
Nuke issues:
This is a big one. Instead of trusting the news media I did what I normally do in situations like this.
I researched the subject. I read different views on what could happen and where I should be.( yes Mom I was being my normal self( my Mom expressed frustration with how in depth I sometimes go. When I started baking bread I dived into the chemistry of the process instead of just reling on cook books))
I feel Tokyo is safe!
Earthquake:
They happen. They have happened. They will happen. They can not be predicted. Tokyo has an acceptable risk.
Economic:
This is a big one. I can’t afford to leave and return. I am not sure if I can make a go of it here, but I have to try.
I have ads running in a couple of publications to try and find photography students.. Wish me luck
Family:
This is the toughest. I know how much this is worrying my family. I wish there was a way to take it away, but worry they do.
This is also a tough time because a cousin is in intensive care from a hockey incident.
I know I am safe. I am using caution and trying to make smart choices, but all the home front sees is what the TV shows them.
And seeing what they see, breaks my heart.
But that is not where I am. That is not what I am experiencing.
Anyway, I am staying, for now. If I feel the situation warrants it, I will be on my way out. – Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
