后记
最后一天，我们带着依依不舍的心情从新千岁机场转机至北京，再从北京飞回新加坡。在这短短的几天内，我们深深地感受到日本人的殷勤，日本人的礼貌，日本社会的条理。令我再次脱口而出：日本这个国家，真的是 WORLD CLASS! 。这次的自行旅游，太过难忘了！我们大家都在心里暗暗地决定，来年，或是未来有任何机会，我们一定要回到日本来游玩。
The Tsunami
On 11 March 2011, at GMT 0546Hrs, a massive earthquake measuring a scale of 9.0 struck the bed of the sea 400km north-east of Tokyo. This sent a gigantic Tsunami racing across the eastern coast of Japan, with waves measuring as high as 10m. The wall of sea water destroyed bridges, milliions of homes and many installations in major cities like Sendai and Fukushima. More than 20,000 Japanese people perished in this disaster, as even more suffered, stranded in far-out areas, in the wintry cold weather with little food and water, and with no electricity supply.
But what left an even more longer-lasting impact, was the massive damage done to Nuclear Reactors in the Fukushima nuclear plants. This resulted in the melt down of at least one of these several plants, despite extensive emergency measures taken by the Authorities.
Sadly, together with the physical and environmental damages, came the economical repercussion. Scores of travellers stayed away from Japan, including Hokkaido, and tourism was greatly affected.
But after seeing the way the Japanese people work and the way they live their lives, I believe sincerely that Japan as a society and as a country will bounce back from this major disaster in time to come. And I am equally confident that as a hard-working and organised people, the Japanese will rise to the occasion.
And Japan will certainly see us setting foot on her soil again.
