Hi everyone,
Next year I plan to live and work in Japan in a place called British Hills for a year, (1-8 Shibakusa, Tarao, Ten-ei Village, Iwase District, Fukushima Pref) after sucessfully being accepted early this year.
However, after the big quake that struck Japan early in March and the radiation leaking out from the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant - I am worried.
I know very little of what the situation is like right now, despite reading the news, most of it is outdated by at least 2-3months and the stuff that's present still leaves you feeling blind.
I can't express how much I want this opportunity. I've always wanted to go to Japan and been learning Japanese at high-school for 4-5 years now. This is my last year at high school before entering University and I really want to take the next year off to enjoy myself and at the same time save enough money to cover my Uni fees and accomodation while I'm stuyding there.
If anyone knows any latest news on the situation in Fukushima, or is living somewhere in Fukushima Prefecture that can share a bit about what it's like there at the moment, that would be truely helpful and greatly appreciated.
Max
