Recently many had commented the first sequences of Clint Eastwood's latest film, Beyond life, the poignant and realistic recreation of the Indian Ocean tsunami in December 2004 but reality always surprises, more frightening when one realizes that what seemed like fiction into reality is nothing but a tangible possibility, even a premonition. 
We are still stunned but perhaps saturated with images of the tsunami in Japan, and now it speculate on the radiation and aftershocks, but after seeing so many photographs and lurid images that I'd like had taken any of those apocalyptic movies rarely stand, what I call the attention on the news is not out simply because it is not happening: no riots in Japan despite the courage and suffering justify even the most calm nerves lose or at least raise his voice. To my knowledge, there has been no attempt of looting while many people have left their homes for fear of the ocean that runs inland destroying everything in its path. I see queues of people as they distribute food, and I admire her silence, her integrity, and above all discipline. 
For anyone who has felt curiosity or admiration for many years by Japanese culture this attitude is not new, but now see discipline seamless the Japanese after the tragedy leaves you speechless. No one doubts that these people will come forward even more tsunamis. Just see to queue while waiting for food distributed to them to know they are invincible. 
past few years it is fashionable to travel to China. I still I have not decided. I'm a bit lazy. But I've always been attracted more to know Japan, but I stayed a little further.
Every time I have more desire.
