Wednesday today, and at least we didn't wake up to the news of any more nuclear reactors exploading... Although there was a fire at Daiichi nuclear plant (reactor 3 I think) this morning japan-time, it seems that it quickly subsided. But white -most likely radio active- smoke has been coming out since then so I'm sure it's not all red roses... And they released some photos of Daiichi's number 3 and 4, and maaaan, it didn't look very good at all!
And a new earthquake in the Chiba-district in Tokyo today as well, think it was 6.0 or there about. Happy happy happy I'm not living in Tokyo...
Anyway, we still remain safe here down in south, and I would say it's quite likely it will continue this way. Even though they have measured 10 times higher radiation values than normal in Tokyo, they still strongly confirm that there's no risk to health at all. And Tokyo in its turn is still a long way away from here. In general, it seems like the rest of the world has a lot more panic about this than Japan itself has.. :/ Now, apparently there's been suspiscions from abroad that the japanese government is witholding information and stuff, but naaah, I don't really see why to be honest. Where's the win in that? I don't think mass panic is bound to happen here anyway, people are obviously sad and in despair, but fully composed. What I don't trust at the moment though, is that friggin TEPCO. Even the prime minister himself gave out for not providing him with information..
Ok, I bet you all know what's going on anyway, so I'll stop here for now. Will go make myself some tea and see if I can find something fun to watch for a change. If anyone is interested in following the news I would recommend NHK's live broadcasting here:

Basically japanese news sent from Japan, but in English.
Oooh, and I read in "aftonbladet" that the earth is now rotating quicker and the days getting shorter because of the earthquake last Friday. Pffft... They really are the comic relief among newspapers... XD
Still Safe in the South!

Hehe, aftonbladet ljög faktiskt inte.. Däremot handlade det ju typ om en tusendels nanosekund eller nåt sånt löjligt :P

Ya u're right it seems that my country and the rest of the world are more worried than Japan itself, weird! Latin countries and asiatic countries doesn't react in the same way, different culture. Regards to informations, it's a big mess!
Still France considers that there is a big nucelar risk , cause it's not going better in these nuclear power station. Hope u're still safe.
Take care, xXxXxXx
