'Tsunami hits japan, please watch TV'
That's message from my old sister at 14:36 on Friday 10 days ago. My memory back to what happened at that time. I've been meeting at the office. When on meeting, my company have right to not turn-on cellphone *same with the others companies. i think*. Cos of that, usually i won't bring my cellphone at meeting room. Just leave on desk table ^-^ But didn't why, at that time brought while still on. When message-ringtone beep, i got a little shocked *felt guilty & embrassed too*, would to turn-off but i read my sister's message its before. Eehhhh!?!?!? My eyes widened. No care with everybody... screamed... 'tsunami in Japan!!!' Everybody looked at me.... 'haaaaaaa...'; 'eeeehhhhh!!!'; 'really...????', 'don't lie!'. One senior said 'let's open website!'. Some coworkers opened BBC, CNN, local TVs site. Then...while watched by own laptops, everybody exclaimed. Screamed. At that time, not too much news & videos, it can be said about headline news. I tried KH to open NHK cos saw title of NHK at the CNN live. And...OMG!!! Then everybody closed me. Watched together *they didn't know about KH & no time to explain*
So.... meeting on Friday at that day just ended like that... no spirit to continue!! The same happened with my sister... but she's lucky cos she's not on meeting so could watch TV at her office & watched on big screen if compare with my KH ne.... :((
No wonder everybody really paid attention tsunami in Japan. It reminded with earthquake 9.2 scale richter and tsunami disaster in Aceh *city in my country* on Dec 26, 2004...... 240,589 people were killed & more than 500,000 people were left homeless....
When at home *same with mostly people in the world* just watched TV. Thanks God, one local TV really concerned. Not only about headline news or news in 10-20 minutes. No stopping even till a few days later to news its progress in Japan specially with evacuating my country people *Indonesian citizens* who live in earthquake & tsunami areas ~0~

It was sad watching the evacuation of thousands of bodies in Rikuzen Takata-Iwate *holding tears*.... Partially buried in the ruins building *coudn't hold my tears*...... It is very heartbreaking for a thousand corpses on the beach Ojika-Miyagi *cried*...... Very saddened by the fate of 10 thousand victims in the Sanriku-Minami Miyagi unknown fate...... More than 2,500 homes were destroyed on the beach Ofunato.... Thousands of refugees...... My deepest sympathy and condolences for them... The most frightening is the threat of a nuclear reactor Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear. Fukushima really like city of the dead after the fourth explosion and about 140,000 residents were evacuated. Fortunately it's quite stable... Thanks God!

By the way, Indonesian citizens in Japan is 25,546 people & 414 citizens in Miyagi & Iwate *the two worst affected areas*
Honestly I'm very proud with my country. The Indonesian evacuation team became the first team to set up a command post in the center of Sendai-Miyagi which suffered considerable damage. That's why my country embassy in Japan became a leading group for the evacuation of citizens of ASEAN...

....... tsunami always terrible...
What bothers me is the rubble heap of ruins, especially office buildings.... infrastructure .... How much will the heavy equipment used to get rid of and how time needed. It was so afraid if discovered some victims behind the ruins ...
Ano,Sho-kun...... regarding your words on NZ last week about volunteers... what Japan needed now is not volunteers cos volunteers would needed more food & water, but donation that needed now ^-^....

Oh, Sho-kun ...forgive me.. may be this time i didn't agree a little with you.... about volunteers... I know your worry about food & water *and electric* that have to saved this time.... but... learning from the tsunami Aceh, volunteers from around the world carrying with accommodation for victims & theirselves too. All come together to move quickly, especially looking for victims among the ruins, along the remote areas that can only be reached by walking for hours while holding a support accommodation...removing debris...taking care of refugees. All of a fast process. It really can not imagine the time required without the helping of foreign workers..
Sho-kun...watched the ruins of buildings... infrastructures.. it needed manpower and heavy equipment that was many ne... Believe me, during the humanitarian operations in disaster areas, each team or volunteers from countries in the world, like my country team, guarantees won't be a burden to Japan governments, both in terms of logistics and accommodation provision... cos of every team country'll have the support and facilities of their embassy in Japan....
Like my Indonesia Team, Sho-kun... they really did not bother anyone though for 4 days first only eat bananas to find citizens & everybody in sendai area .... but.... that makes amazed when queuing vehicles to refuel the queue up to 5 km, japan policeman saw car team with Indonesian state flag & suddenly he brake through the queue immediately escorted directly to the front *thanks, policeman*... more amazing, the japanese people who in the queue no protest... even they waved and encouraged team.. they knew if team're struggling to find citizens... in a rescue mission... *thanks, Japan!!*
Then Sho-kun... so amazing with the amount of donations which still come flowing to Japan ne...every body care.. world care... This is the solidarity of the world.... Because we are one of the world .... cos of subarashiki sekai ne, Sho-kun... 素晴らしき世界, 翔くん......
Oh guys... Japanese people is really very kind ne people ne... Last year, to commemorate the tsunami earthquake 6 years, approximately 40,000 people from around the world write messages and feelings of their nominally on waterproof paper for tsunami victims in Aceh. Then papers were formed into origami of cherry blossoms by japanese... sakura flowers.... Japanese people really care about Indonesia. Although 6 years have passed, they still follow and actively participate in recovery in Aceh until now. Thank you Japan. Your people so amazing ... so wonderful... their heart always with us... どうも有り難うございました......
