Disaster Reduction Museum, Kobe. Just few weeks after our visit to this museum, an earthquake similar to the 'Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake' hit China. Our visit here made us realize the catastrophe that can occur from such an incident. Since I have a lot of Chinese friends, I could understand the difficulties they are going through at this moment. Today evening, a mourning period took place among the Chinese 'Gaijins' in my area, concurrent to the one held in China. All our prayers goes to the victims and their families
