Introduction

Hello, my name is Daniel Riley and you've reached the site of a blog I wrote during my time as an exchange student in Nagoya, Japan. In the wake of the triple disasters of earthquake, tsunami, and Fukushima nuclear incident, I have decided to repurpose the site as an aggretation of resources for those interested in helping the survivors of these disasters. Those interested in reading about my time in Japan can still do so in the Archives. Thank you for reading, I hope you find a way to support the people of Japan in this time of need.

A little humor

I walk by this building every day, and the comparison between the way the Japanese veil their construction work on buildings and the building in the below historical video never ceases to make me smile.

The rest of the world should know that all across Japan there are buildings just waiting to set sail...
