If you're in Sendai or Fukushima, hard hit areas, if you're homeless or in an extremely dangerous area, then sure, get up and leave . . . no one should stay in a place where they aren't safe. Just why leave otherwise? It's not all of Japan that's in danger, just certain areas. America has had earthquakes, England hurricanes . . . no one said 'everyone in the entire country, go back to where you came from, it's not safe!'. Why do they say this for Japan?
I agree with you fully on this one.Most of the exchange students here are leaving basic on the fact they really dont like it here or are still homesick. So they use this as an opportunity to return, but im not that i really like japan and wish to extend my stay here further if possible.
Anyway as of right now im staying.
