I contacted Asami who runs her own bar in Kumamoto yesterday and she had spend the whole morning with her employees at a park after. Shinkansen are not running and the airport and highway are closed so there's no way out. It got me thinking I could have been stuck in Kyushu for a week or two since I go there so often. (Just enter Kumamoto into the search bar for plenty of pictures)
There's suppose to be another aftershock sometime next week so she may close shop for a whole week, not to mention the place is already a mess. No point cleaning up now if everything is just going to fall over again.
Hopefully the aftershock is a mild one and there are no more casualties. Ganbatte Kumamoto! 頑張って熊本！

Hopefully there'll be no more earthquakes. Reading your blog, Kyushu seems to be a lovely place with plenty of character
Ganbatte Kumamoto! One of my first penpals from Japan-guide was from there, back in 1999/2000.
I'v been wonder for a while: Do people still have a pen pal? That's something I miss out from the 1990s/early 2000 era.
