A couple of days later I got the opportunity to visit Minamisoma and the city’s general
hospital. We drove through the ghost towns and villages with remnants of the
damage caused by the devastating east japan quake. Braving the threat of
radiation we went as far as the checkpoints beyond which civilian traffic was
prohibited. We could see special vehicles with shaded windows heading towards
the Fukushima-Daichii nuclear reactor.
We went to the sea side, deserted
village, a Buddha statue in the lobby of a damaged house
,
the flora and fauna
oblivious to the risk of being in the radiation zone. We got ourselves checked
for radiation exposure at the Minamisoma city hospital.
I wondered why certain
people were destined to suffer in this beautiful country. After being a witness
to super surgery at the neurosurgery department in Minamisoma, we here hosted
to a traditional Japanese lunch.
