Google Maps Mania - The Japan View
This is
nagoyan the earthhopper from Japan.
First I'd like to express my deepest sympathy for all of the people and communities impacted by Hurricane Katrina. Just watched ABC's World News Tonight and got heartbroken to see the sitution that there's no enough help. I've
personally visited New Orleans a couple of times (for business and pleasure), and can't suffer with the reality when I remember such great and warm hospitalities in the city of Big Easy. Hope all will get enough support around the world ASAP, and we believe you can surely live strong and get over this disaster for the future, and bring back
smiles like this sooner.
On the other hand, in Japan, September 1st was our National Disaster Prevention Day (
huge earthquake hit Tokyo and killed more than 142,000 people on this day back in 1923), and
most of us joined the drills and reconfirmed what's prepared. It's extremely important to prepare to the best of our ability BEFORE the disaster strikes. Now another big Typhoon #14 Nabi is going to hit us soon -
Digital Typhoon provides
KML to track it on Google Earth.
So here we go for today's edition of Japan View.
