Dear Kimie

First of all I would apologise for not being able to write to you about the safety and good health of your family, friends and countrymen due to my sickness. The news of this deadly tsunami became the headline at all print and electronic media in Pakistan. It was the talk of the town and people really had very sympathtic feelings for people of japan. I really believe that common ordinary people really love and respect others.

sorry once again for this delay. I hope friends and family are safe.

I pray for the Japanese people in the disaster-stricken areas and admire the spirit the Japanese people demonstrate in face of disaster. Humanitarian has no boundary. With the catastrophe that is affecting all Asian coutries, I would seriously urge my compatriots and all the people from other coutries to show your humanitarian spirit and extend a helping hand. We live under the same sky and will have the same future.

What was scary about this earthquake was aftershocks were as strong as the first one, and lasted quite long. We appreciated the architect who had designed our 30 year-old wooden house in a suburb of Tokyo and luckily there was no visible damage around us. However, 170,000 households in neighbouring Sagamihara is still out of power, cell phones are not working, and more many people are stranded in central Tokyo as trains are not running. One problem of media coverage is that they tend to concentrate what is happening in Tokyo. However, the situation is the north is devastating.
