My attitude to natural disasters is like "Meh... sh*t happens".
If Japan was for example invaded by China or Russia though (i.e. a man-made disaster).. then I'd be following it to the second.

Your sympathy for humanity beyond your fingertips is duly noted.

It's kinda weird for me, having been to Japan, see outsiders and the media treat this as though the whole of Japan was hit by an Earthquake.

Japanese people all over the world are affected. I lived in Portland, Oregon when 9/11 happened, a full 3000 miles from Ground Zero, and it still affects me to this day. This earthquake/tsunami disaster affects me, as I have friends who have still not been able to contact family in Northern Honshu. No one in Japan is not affected.
