In Belgium

The situation in Japan is horrible. I'm in Belgium now. This was a longe foreseen family visit. Just by chance that I could leave Japan during these terrible times. I wil stay until April 5. My daughter is on a school trip in Germany. So, she is safe to for the moment. My wife is in Yokohama but can join her sister in Kumamoto, Kyushu. My wife says everything is fine in Yokohama. A lot of my foreign friends left Japan or went further south in the country.

Before leaving I gave a short interview on VRT Radio 1:

Not in the mood of sending the Japan Nieuwsbrief. But I continue to save artikels in Diigo. The links will appear here daily
