"One mother had run, barefoot, from her job in the CBD to find her child, probably a good five kilometres."
Actually it was that observation that made me burst into tears.
She was probably wearing high heels and decided to chuck them to run to get her little one.
5 kilometres running over quake ravaged ground barefoot to get her child. If you need an example of the bond between mother and child you won't find a better one.
We shouldn't be quipping about it - we should be sending her Jimmy Choos to thank her for her inspiring journey.
What a day of drama that was. We were on an evacuation alert - with sirens and announcements but luckily didn't have to in the end - although tens of thousands of people did across Japan.
We were very lucky - the biggest tsunami was 1.2 metres. Some damage but no injuries and no deaths. It was the biggest warning in Japan for 17 years - and it went on for hours until authorities were absolutely sure the tsunami had stopped.
Here's a list of tsunami observed - as you can see the entire Pacific coast had tsunami of some degree.
Thanks for the comments kids! I am working hard at making em gooder!
Interestingly perhaps EdArzakh I cook most of the food I photograph and I not Japanese (~_^).
