A funny thing about the dog that was found alive floating on and island of debris, do you know what the first thing she did once she was found? She peed in the stretcher (see the video in the Saved Dog blog post – 53 seconds in). I guess that if you have to go, you really have to go 😉
If someone asked “what makes your day?” about 4 weeks ago I think I would have had a very different answer. Now, what makes my day is finding two 2 liters bottles of water in a grocery store.
Yesterday I stopped at every convenient store (like Lawson, 7-Eleven, FamilyMart) as well as every grocery store between Shinagawa where I work and Meguro where I live. Halfway home I found a store that had 2 l bottles of water and I bought 2. By then I had stopped between 5-10 times, each time leaving the store disappointed 🙁
Today I did the same tour. But even the grocery store where I bought water in yesterday were sold out on 1.5 and 2 liters water bottles today. Luckily, Chie found a 1.5 liters water bottle at Tokyu store 🙂
For some reasons it seems news papers around the world do not report happy news from Japan. So I try to rely what was big news in Japan yesterday.
A dog was found 3 weeks after the earthquake. Floating around on an island of debris in the ocean. It seemed like she was quite happy to reunite with her owner again 🙂
It’s been quite a while now without an earthquake. Sine the Tohoku earthquake we had put some heavy things down from the bookshelves onto the floor. Today we put it back up again.
As sure as “amen” in church… Today we had another earthquake 5+ magnitude close to the epicenter which was further south than Tohoku earthquake and inland, hence much closer to Tokyo. In Tokyo area it was about 3 in Magnitude and just chock the building quickly before dying out. Luckily for us it was not big enough to make the things we put up on the bookshelves fall down 🙂
This is not an April’s fools joke… I hope, since I heard the news yesterday. Or rather, I hope it is a joke because I eat yogurt almost every weekday morning.
Anyway, we have run into a shortage of yogurt and other groceries that require a lot of energy to produce. Natto (fermented beans) for instance is another item that is difficult to find, but it is not as important as yogurt ;-).
