This...just leaves me in awe. I mean, I know its just one road and there's so much more left to be done and there's still that situation with the nuclear power plant...but seeing what they were able to accomplish in just under four days, it gives me hope that things will get better for Japan.

Wow, that really is amazing. I can't believe they did all that to that road in just four days.

I've also heard that there was no looting at all during all this; the stores lowered their prices so that no one would have to start stealing stuff. Can you even imagine?

That's wonderful. I knew there hadn't been looting (which is great of itself) but having the shops lower their prices shows a lot of care and community thought. Avoiding panic is so important right now.

Amazing!


(...So does it take weeks to fix a few potholes around here, and then the road is still crap? I guess motivation is everything)

Motivation, and a culture that really emphasizes what's good for the group as opposed to what's good for the individual. That's how it seems to me at any rate.

No disrespect intended to Japanese culture, but I would have to disagree with that second assertion. Pretty strongly.
