"Helpless" !! :-) That is one word I would never imagine anyone using to describe the Japanese in this circumstance...

Thank you, Bob. It sounds strange on the surface, but I feel a strong sense of cultural "blessing" coming out of this terrible disaster in Japan. The way people there are responding to the challenges in its wake is a testament to something…

I'm always looking out when you post something Bob. Great read - don't find this information in the normal newspapers! (haven't checked, did you post on the AoH Ning too, on the blog?)

Kiyosato is in Yamanashi Prefecture, a couple of hours on the Chou-sen from Tokyo. Seems to me there are huge opportunities now in Japan, but they are found by being part of community.  Let me watch for the next opportunity to invite you into…
