 To all of you who wrote to urge me to come back to France, here is my point of view. I really appreciate your concern and kindness. I will try to explain to you the situation as it can be seen from here but there are some circumstances that cannot be grasped from outside Japan. I, myself do not understand all of them, even from within. I have chosen to settle in Japan over a year ago. Little by little, I made my place, my life, friendships and even more. I currently share my life with a Japanese person. As Olivier Gaurin was explaining in his own note, if you decide to settle somewhere, whether you want it or not, this place and its people will deeply affect you in more ways than you can imagine.

| Earthquake in Japan March 11th 2011 |
 A massive earthquake of a 8.8 magnitude (the biggest ever since Japan started recordings 140 years ago) occured in the Pacific Ocean at about 160 km from North-eastern Japan at 2:46pm on March 11 (JST). Significant damages occured and an up to 10 m tsunami hit the coastal areas. The death count keeps rising as the water clears. Below are the post I gave at the time.
