Japan - 5 months on
« on: August 04, 2011, 07:40:40 »
Just seen a report (2 of several) on BBC Breakfast about Japan 5 months after the tsunami.  It appears that the recovery and rebuilding isn't as fast as originally suggested, with some villages on the coast banned from rebuilding and families whose houses have been destroyed and who have lost jobs still having to pay the mortgage.  Someone has said that the housing issue will take a generation to resolve.

Have you visited the Garw Valley Railway yet?

its not going to be easy also because of the area currently being so unstable with seismic activity.
