petite_madame Home, at last!
Paris, Luxembourg Garden (Jardin du Luxembourg) Hi, I hope you are doing fine. 
I finally managed to leave Tokyo and to go back home to Paris. I should have come back to my country on the 29th of March but considering the circumstances (earthquake + problems at the Fukushima power plant) the French Embassy has urged all the French citizens living in Japan (particularly in the North and in Tokyo) to leave the country as fast as possible. It wasn't very easy because all the flights were full, full, FULL. After several failed attempts to get a flight and a night spent at Narita Airport (with incredibly funny and completely drunk Chinese people), I'm finally at home, in Paris.
Voilà, that's all I can tell you!
Paris, Luxembourg Garden (Jardin du Luxembourg)
I finally managed to leave Tokyo and to go back home to Paris.

After several failed attempts to get a flight and a night spent at Narita Airport (with incredibly funny and completely drunk Chinese people), I'm finally at home, in Paris.
I would like to thank all the people who wrote me and who were worried about me. Communicating in the last couple of days (even this whole week!) wasn't very easy for me so sorry if I didn't answer your comments or your emails. My mail box and LJ inbox are full but I will try to take the time to answer to everybody this weekend. Thank you so much Flist! 
This morning, the situation in Fukushima seems to get a little bit better, let's hope it will continue. Don't worry if you still have family and friend in Japan, the medias are describing the situation there as if Tokyo was going to be destroyed by a "Akira-style" nuclear explosion and that Japan was gonna suffer from a nuclear winter followed by a zombie apocalypse. It's bullshit. It's just to sell more paper and to raise the audience rates. Those bastards have created a real panic abroad, my parents and friends thinking I was gonna die because of the radiations!!! The main problems in Tokyo when I left (on March 19th) were electricity (there were still power cuts), transportations (some lines didn't work properly still because of electricity problems) and food (the combinis were almost empty but it depends on the place you are and apparently, it also seems to get better so nobody is gonna die of hunger). Everything else is working properly, kids go to school, post offices are ok, taxis, etc...
If you want to know what is really happening in Japan, read BLOGS of foreign students living there, they are a more reliable source of infos than the traditional medias.

I'm sure it's gonna be fine (eventually, let's HOPE so), Japanese people have handled the situation so far with a great sense of organization and CALM. In addition, they were extremely prepared.
Voilà, that's all I can tell you!
See you soon (Tuesday or Wednesday) and thanks again!

The journalists must be huge anime fans, all of them.
But yeah, the media coverage in Germany is pretty much like the nuclear apocalypse happened instead of an earthquake, which really is far more severe so far. It's maddening.

I want to kill the media right now!! The media coverage is RIDICULOUS!! The Japanese are quiet but people abroad are panicking as if Fukushima was in their garden!! ^^;;

Cependant je croise toujours les doigts pour le Japon: 日本頑張れー!!!!!!!!

Date: 2011-03-20 02:36 pm (UTC)It certainly seems that the Japanese people have much more common sense than the world-wide media.
The media seem to have virtually forgotten about the earthquake and tsunami that was so very devastating
to so many and have focused on the least consequential event that these poor people have endured.
It is a shame.
In any event, You. Are. Home. !!

Date: 2011-03-20 05:55 pm (UTC)Media are telling incredible stories to raise the audience rates. A nuclear apocalypse is much more interesting than some small radiation leaks. And meanwhile they hardly talk about the real disaster, the tsunami!
