Even though the large-sized Japan's earthquack and tsunami and the succeeding nuclear-power plant crush happened almost a year ago, only 5% of the rubble has been disposed for now. The rest still remain in the afflicted areas.  Harmful rumors about Fukushima has been damaging the region's reputation, and people there are leaving their home prefecture one after another. Domestic animals, pets and even camel birds settle in the off-limits areas of Fukushima, creating an apocalyptic world, which reminds me of a 1997 American film, The Post Man . This is not a joke.

It has been said that nobody gets the whole picture of Tokyo. Since Edo period in which Ieyasu Tokugawa, the first Shogun of Edo Shogunate, the city has expanded massively as taking and absorbing everything in its passes.  During the World War II, Japanese troops created a number of military-utility-subways as well as water-lines in Tokyo's underworld that haven't been used since the end of the war; and that fact has been making the city more fascinating while it has been letting people living in the city have created a number of urban legends relevant to the underworld.

Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plants being melt down, Fukushima citizens have suffered from unending harmful rumors across the nation. Recently, a number of Fukushima-registered cars' windows were broken, or sprayed "Go Home" continuously.  The victims ask Twitter users to re-tweet the cases in Japanese.  For this issue, Japanese Net-users posted: "Parking area is not a dream world." "Micky-Mouse did." "That's false." "Tokyoite did" Source(s): http://tabisuke.arukikata.co.jp/ds/r/203/r/20012/r/20283/6/DomesticSpot/4106/p/1/ http://read2ch.com/r/news/1313508145/

Started with a misfire incident, London Riots worsen rather than improve; and the riots are starting to spill over London into other cities of U.K. In light of this situation, a book-store clerk, whose store might have been attacked by violent crowds, bravely uncovered her thought on Twitter. "We'll probably stay open. If they steal some books, they might actually learn something."  How do you view this issue?
