The Japanese, no strangers to radiation, downplay disaster and continue on.
The Japanese should be commended for their handling of the recent earthquake-spawned nuclear disaster in Kashiwazaki. Much like previous Japanese Nuclear disasters, like when we bombed them with two atomic weapons, they have given a metaphorical karate chop to the radioactive material and continued to work hard to make their society a better place.
Other countries could be well served by this work ethic. Chernobyl, for example, has yet to rebuild and it’s been 20 years.
Honestly, it makes me embarrassed to have this weak Russian blood flowing through my veins. I know there’s a period of time where the radioactivity is still dangerous, but really, it’s been 20 years…let’s get to work!

Gitty,
WTF? The Japanese are not Communists. You must be confusing them with the Chinese.

You can continue to be proud of your heritage. A Russian woman named Elana, rides a 147 hp Kawasaki Ninja through the area. Here is her site with descriptions and pictures:

…and coming from a country where women ride motorcycles doesn’t do much to make me proud.
