My name is Yoko.<br \/>\nThis time I want to talk about the big big earthquake and tsunami which occurred in Japan this spring.<br \/>\nIt was March 11th; a day I remember so clearly.<br \/>\nNow, in Japan it is called 3.11, like 9.11 in the US. It means that the disaster was so big that we can compare the two \u2013 of course one was natural and the other manmade.<\/p>\n<p>On this subject,\u00a0 I interviewed\u00a0 Aaron from Guam and Nicole from\u00a0<em>Kansas,\u00a0 both from U.S.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I asked <a><\/a><\/em>what was going on around\u00a0them at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s have listen!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Aaron<\/p>\n<p>Y:Ok. So I\u2019ll ask some questions about 3.11, and your name is Arron. It\u2019s ok? Fine?<br \/>\nA:Yeah my name is Aaron.<br \/>\nY: Yes, thank you!\u00a0 And where were you when the earthquake struck?<br \/>\nA:I was in Guam.<br \/>\nY:Yeah and\u2026<br \/>\nA:Oh what was I doing\u2026I was playing WorldWide cup when that happened then.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Everyone&#8217;s in a library, had that any tricky news about the earthquake.<br \/>\nSo after that I checked the news at internet and I got other distractions, tsunami.<br \/>\nY:Oh so you have watched Tsunami live on the internet.<br \/>\nA:Yeah I have watched on the Internet. and on the news.<br \/>\nY:How did you feel that?<br \/>\nA:I was pretty sad&#8230;It was &#8230;How to say&#8230;not amazing, cause this is kind of sacrifice&#8230;<br \/>\nYeah just watching, staying the water, pushing everything away, lots of people died.<br \/>\nY:So have you experienced something like this before?<br \/>\nA:Kind of. In guam there lots of p\u301cgmiration, no one really died such like this. After p\u301cment Water, killer water.<br \/>\nMany people died after water. I think I&#8217;ve got more knowledge that as.<br \/>\nY:When you knew about earthquake and tunami you&#8217;ve already decided to come Japan?<br \/>\nA:Yeah. My parents were kind of worry, they don&#8217;t really want me to come. But I still want to come.<br \/>\nY:After this, has your feeling Even though there&#8217;s lots of<br \/>\nA:I can&#8217;t really change. I guess\u00a0 it&#8217;s still positive. Cause After Katrina happened. and news and everywhere \u301c\u301c\u301c.\u3000those are pretty mean(?).<br \/>\nY:So if this collage, Obirin is near Tohoku, you would come or not?<br \/>\nA:I would personally still want to come, but my parents wouldn&#8217;t want me to go. They really neither.<br \/>\nY:I think so. Difficult to come.<br \/>\nA:Yeah difficult. But I still personally wanted to come.<br \/>\nY:How the image of Japan about disaster and the also nuclear things??<br \/>\nA:Nuclear things are kind of sacary. We even nuclear in West coast and Guam. But my image is of Japan is still positive.<\/p>\n<p>Nicole<\/p>\n<p>Y: Hi nicole!<\/p>\n<p>N: Hey! what&#8217;s up!<\/p>\n<p>Y: I gonna ask you some questions about the big big earthquake of Japan.\u00a0 The first, where were you when the earthquake struck?<\/p>\n<p>N: When the erthquake struck,<\/p>\n<p>Y: Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>N: I was in Machida, I was on the date.<\/p>\n<p>Y: Wow! What&#8217;s happened!<\/p>\n<p>N: We went into the restaurant, and orderd some pizza, and then we ordered some beer and we sat down.\u00a0 And then the earthquake happened, like after we ordered beer.\u00a0 So&#8230;it was really scary cause I&#8217;ve never experienced like that earthquake in my life.<\/p>\n<p>Y: Oh! The first time!n Yeah that was my first time of this big earthquake cause I&#8217;m from Kansas, in Kansas there&#8217;s no earthquake so..it was so scary\u00a0\u00a0 And that was 3.11, and they made us sweep from the restaurant and how do we made up to Fuchinobe.\u00a0 The tarains were not working for going back home so.<\/p>\n<p>Y: So that was the first time, first experience like that.n Yeah, very very first experience of earthquake.y And so big!<\/p>\n<p>N: yeah, I felt like some role comeng or something.<\/p>\n<p>Y: Mnn&#8230;! Did you feel any change of Japan, like people or other things in town?\u00a0 In town, so many people to get back to home for walking, cause of no train&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>N: Well it made me realize that corn of having public tranceportation, like we are out, we gotta stuck at there.\u00a0 I felt kind of frustrated to get back Machida to home.<\/p>\n<p>But it made me thanks for the train. After words tirains started running again, I was like &#8220;Oh trains running!&#8221;!\u00a0 I was so happy with trains came back.<\/p>\n<p>Y: yeah, I also think it&#8217;s important, and very usefull.\u00a0 So, did you watch any tunami live at TV or something?<\/p>\n<p>N: No. cause I got back home from Machida, I didn&#8217;t have internet or these. I wasn&#8217;t abele to see.\u00a0 But next day, I saw on the news. I was really shocked. I didn&#8217;t get it from live.y In the news, same images again and again from TV.n Yeah that was horrible. I was so scared.<\/p>\n<p>Y: So I am.\u00a0 So after that has your feeling or image of Japan changed?<\/p>\n<p>N: It has changed, but it&#8217;s got more positive. Like Hurricane Katrina happened, people were stealing from each other and people were completly panicking.\u00a0 But in Japan, people were panicking but no one stealing from each other, and helping each other. Like even Yakuza, they helped out up the north.\u00a0 So I was like how owesome is that! Even though most degerous and criminal things.<\/p>\n<p>Y: Oh I&#8217;m happy to hear that&#8230;!<\/p>\n<p>N:Yeah! Now I think maybe better impression of Japanese people. No ones stealing and pushing out at the store.\u00a0\u00a0 But it&#8217;s kind of wired cause what I expect from natural disaster, people is shoving and stealing. Japanese people didn&#8217;t do that so &#8220;Oh Japan is great\u00a0county&#8221;.\u00a0 people had been standing in a line 5 hours for piece of bread. That is amazing.<\/p>\n<p>Y: Don&#8217;t make me cry&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>N: Don&#8217;t cry&#8230;!<\/p>\n<p>Y: I&#8217;m so happy to hear that cause many overseas people don&#8217;t want to come Japan cause of this.<\/p>\n<p>N: It was bad for me, it made me to back to home. But I did&#8217;n care too much so I came back.<\/p>\n<p>Y: Yeah I was really happy when I heard you came back! \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Thank you so mush!!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Conclusion<\/p>\n<p>That was my interview from my friends.<br \/>\nDid you hear that?!<br \/>\nthey, Aaron and Nicole have good impressions of Japan after 3.11,<br \/>\nOf course Japan is in a bad situation and we have to care about these, tunami, earthquake, nuclear things. I can understand Aaron&#8217;s parents&#8217; opinion.<br \/>\nBut friends said they \u00a0got\u00a0impressed\u00a0Japanese people\u00a0behavior\u00a0after suffered.<br \/>\nAs they said, sufferers were orderly, and disclipt, although\u00a0panicked\u00a0truely. but they are appealing how those were serious by fair ways.<br \/>\nWe can proud these people&#8217;s behavior. and this is japanese people&#8217;s power.<br \/>\nWe must know we have still specialy nice points of japanese still and get positive action include these difficult problems.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for listenig!<br \/>\nwe,all japanese continue to make efforts!<br \/>\nBye!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.podspress.com\/spring11\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/207d0237pa.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadHi!
