忘れないで「２０１１年３月３日」

1 year ago, on this very day, March 11th 2011, an earthquake struck off the Eastern coast of Japan.

I was in school at the time, and I remember the horrible, sinking feeling of standing alongside my classmates, eyes glued on the TV screens that were broadcasting the terrible scenes of destruction.

1 year on, while rebuilding and recovery has been slow, the people of Tohoku have been resilient and endured the hardships of this past year, despite losing loved ones, homes and livelihoods.  It's been a difficult year for the Japanese people.

In memory of those lost, and in tribute to those who are fighting back...
