Japan Earthquake
The earthquake and tsumani in Northeast Japan near Sendai were devestating. Its ironic, but I had two dreams several weeks before the earthquake where earthquakes happened. I interpreted the dreams to mean that there would be an upheaval in my personal life. Maybe that is yet to come in a few weeks. We’ll see. After the Japan quake, I had another dream that I was visiting a friend’s cottage on a river in Greece which was an hour by boat from China. There was a terrible earthquake at the cottage where I was staying. It lasted more than a minute, but I kept my cool in the dream. I wonder if I could be so cool in real life? After meditating on this dream, I interpreted this dream to mean that China would have a large earthquake, but on the coast or on a river. But, my psychic said that the dream was about a future personal upheaval.
The death toll passed 18,000 and hundreds of thousands were left homeless. It is hard to see such hard working people left helpless after one of nature’s statements. What is more scary is the nuclear situation at Fukushima. There is a high exposure to radioactivity and there have been many incidents where people have been injured due to high radioactivity. One worker was hospitalized due to possible high exposure to the skin in their foot. None of the reactors will be able to be saved as well.
Radioactive water is spilling into the ocean and the radius of the effected area is growing. But, Japanese authorities seem to be treating too small an area as the disaster area, where they should prohibit entry to a much larger radius for safety reasons. Its hard to do testing when disasters happen so fast, but radiation readings need to be done in the seawater every single mile to see how far the damage goes.
My bigger fear is for the long run. How will Tokyo fair in the long run? They are only 150 miles from the power plant. Their radioactivity was 23 more than normal, but is that dangerous? How dangerous will it be in the long run for them to be there? How will the countries economy be in the long run after this disaster. What if they have another disaster? 2012 is around the corner and many of us feel that there will be all types of frequent disasters throughtout the globe, but potentially more if you live near an ocean or fault line like the Japanese do.
How does this effect outsourcing? Will Japan outsource less due to this horrible quake and tsunami, or will they be more reliant on countries around them? Will they be weakened so much in the long run that China might gobble them up? Its a growing concern for many, and some people regard it as inevitable. A lot of Japanese outsourcing is done by Japanese nationals who have taken up residency in nearby Asian countries such as China or Thailand. However, if Japan’s situation gets much worse, they will be forced to accept help from people who are not culturally Japanese, or they might perish as a nation!
