Tifó!! - Typhoon!!

Ei, pels que no estigueu al cas aquesta setmana hem tingut un altre efecte de la natura al Japó, el tifó Roke que ja és el segon de la temporada, aquest però va passar més a prop de l'arxipèlag causant destrosses materials importants, sobretot a Nagoya. Milers d'evacuats, trens i transports públics parats i hi van haver vents de fins a 200km/h. A mi em va enganxar a Kyoto (si una altra vegada!) amb les visites familiars de setembre, molta pluja i fort vent però res més. Ara quan vàrem tornar a Tokyo ja vem veure de seguida que a la capital la petjada va ser més important, molts paraigües trencats, branques i fins i tot arbres caiguts. Ja ho veieu, al Japó no ens falta de res! El més trist de tot és que aquest desastre natural ha tingut una cobertura mediàtica  internacional pèsima, això malgrat ser un tifó de magnitud superior a l'arxiconegut "Irene" que va passar per EEUU fa unes setmanes...així funciona el sistema.

Hey, for those that haven't heard about it, this week we had another natural hazard in Japan, this time was a typhoon, Roke who is the second of the season but this was much stronger since it passed by closer to mainland leaving a big impact behind, especially in Nagoya. Thousands of evacuees, trains and public transport blocked and winds up to 200kph. This typhoon took me in Kyoto (yes..again!) with the relatives' visit of September, lots of rain and strong wind but nothing else of importance. However when we returned to Tokyo we easily saw the typhoon effect there had been much stronger, many broken umbrellas in the streets, branches and even fallen trees. You see, in Japan we have everything! The saddest part is the minimal international media coverage it has had, although being of higher intensity that the famous "Irene" hurricane that passed by USA few weeks ago...this is how the system works.
