How was your 2011? And have you already decided your goal in 2012? I’ve decided my goals in 2012. I’ll write about them when I have a time.
2011 was a very sad and hard year for Japanese people. Since March 11 2011, Japanese people’s lifestyle and the way of thinking has changed. Of, course it’s difficult to get over but there is no choice but to handle. However we learned a lot from the disaster, before many people didn’t appreciate stable electricity supply, having unlimited food and goods.
People are smart but on the other hand stupid.When something happen, we take it seriously but little by little we forget it. It’s already 10 month past since we had the massive earthquake. Do you still try to save electricity? Do you still appreciate you can buy food and goods anytime? You did donation while you are throwing food and goods away easily…It’s a contradiction . The last year many countries helped Japan, but from 2012 Japanese people shouldn’t rely on the other countries anymore! Japanese people all should get to together and tackle many domestic problems and make Japan more beautiful. When we can show that Japan is really reconstructed, this will be the real “Thank you card” to the other countries which helped us!
FYI Japan is one of countries which rely on other countries too much. Without them, we can’t survive. For example, the self-sufficient in food is just around 40%. ( Switzerland is also around40%) So 60% we import from other countries such as US, Australia and China. (For example Us, Spain, France, their self-sufficient in food is more than 100%) But how often do you throw away food? It’s an extreme way to say but we are asking other countries for food and throwing the food away. (Of course, we pay for it) Isn’t it strange? It’s really high time to take it very seriously. Before Japan take part in TPP.
