Japan has a low crime rate, a paucity of lethal diseases, and almost no dangerous wildlife. Japan is a very safe country. Japan has a forest full of suicide victims, nerve gas attacks on subways, and a rapidly dissolving nuclear power plant. Japan is a very dangerous country. This is the story of my visit to that country, from July 22nd when I leave until September 10th when I return. Enjoy.

Fukushima
I circled Fukushima. You can barely see it. It's near the bottom of the crease running through the middle of the map that cuts Miyagi Prefecture in half. Japan isn't a small country, but everything feels as though it's adjacent to this nuclear reactor. An ominous feeling hangs over me like a cloud of radioactive ash. I leave for Japan the morning after next.
