since you're japanese could you give some links to japanese forums whre things are debated in english ? looks like you are the only one in this thread ? Do you think things like ICQ/messengers would be good to get in contact with local japanese people, and if thats a way to donate and help, dual-individually so to speak. Among other things to distrust is probably some of the org's that collect help. (often accumulated things dont spread that easy again, well apart from radioactivity, that should be contained, sorry)

dontyou thik its a bit lame to put 6 reactors so close to eachother, not to mention close to 4 fault lines/tectonic plates. dont wanna mention terrorism, but even knowing japs are pro's, it doesn't sounded a good idea even 40 years ago. probably GE did not mind at all back then.
of time, dude's got a nice red skull for avatar and post a 1liner like that. ats is stranger than fiction, what to make of it..

Actually iAnjo is American, stated so on page 22.

iAnjo!

So sorry to hear this. Maybe things will get sorted soon, and your family will be able to leave.
Take care and keep us posted when you can!

Hope your way!
OiO

iAnjo, Safe travels my friend. Hang in there. At least they are trying to organize evac. Better than nothing at all.
Your post caught my attention several days ago. Your friends will always be in your heart and memories. And with current technology you will always be able to be with them in real time communications. Make a list or group of individuals you know and want to keep in contact with. So you can determine if a member has gone out of contact for a while, so you can reach out to them later. That group will continue to be bonded together. Make a fb group or other forum where you all can check in together in the future. My graduating class is still fairly cohesive after almost 30 years, it works!
Many prayers for you and your family. Hang in there darlin. You are brave and strong. I am glad you choose ATS as a focus and outlet of your experience. Otherwise we would not have experienced this with you. Your vantage point is enlightening to whats really going on. Take care dear one. Use your faith, family, friends, and forums to express your self.

Ikr..it sucks

And what sucks for everyone else is that the evacuation has been cancelled until Monday, and there are rumors going around they're cancelled because it's a waste of money since the situation is under control. But just today I saw the leader of the powerplants admitting it could kill people and he cried about it..

Well, I hope it's for the best..I just want to get out, hopefully soon

Thanks everyone..we'll be lucky if we leave this week..evacuations r full and haven't een left from where I live, the first evac plane that left was the one we were supposed to ride but the airforce used it, which made us waste a whole day there, bow we're not 100% sure if we can leave..this is bad so far

Well right now the radiation is equivalent to an X-ray body scan but it's getting worse. What's bad is, my school knows this yet they still won't let us out. Teachers are panicking as well as students. We might get evacuated soon, but it's still 50/50. 3 are now in meltdown while the fourth one is on fire. May god help us all...

I'll put info on here later, I'll update for personal reference and for ATS to know...thanks.

Well I wish you the best of luck it seems pretty bad over there. Good luck

the military took your plane? they have their own planes


not to mention, what happened to women and children first? odd and it pi$$es me off.

The evacuations are getting postponed, apparently they're leaving tomorrow.

The least amount of time that you'll be evacuated is 1 month and 6months at most, if you go by the evacuation it'll be by the Navy's (or army's) expense. Air force's evacuation was at the own persons expense. You can go to whichever 48 states you want (You can't go to Hawaii or Alaska)

We're not going by evacuation, we are going by our plans, but if our plans get cancelled again (because of what happend yesterday) we're hoping evacuation will take us up..

We're still waiting to know when we fly off, (hopefully tomorrow)

thanks for posting that info! sorry i dunno how to give flags/stars

sory oneisone, i only made it to pg 16-17 before i replied, im a slow reader as my english isnt native, but intend to read it all (catching up) . i suppose if ianjo is american its less of a problem, he already has a 'home' in seatle ? maybe ianjo is born there hence the name ? if only his parents werent that obknoxious. i see youre from tennessee, well do you then know any english worded japanese forums ?i dont sense any native japanese in this thread. its like, if it wasnt for ianjo..well forgive me i wanna talk to japs,,in english.

ianjo> Where are your parents now ? ianjo if ur 18yo do wtf you think is best, japanese or not. man, ir you're below 18, do the bst as well. you do sound like 'grounded' there in a way, why care ? knowing the last quakes have been much more massive than EVER, esp 40 years ago basically, why dont you get out. schools are everywhere ya know, and no need for military school. im no master in radiation, but do know that your gambling with your ability to have kids. worst case is you cant have them, (it takes so little radiation) worse is that you actually have kids with 5 legs etc..you cant sense that damage anyhow. being young and all, you might think over that day come when you met a woman, and that would become subject maybe. just sounds like good advice. with all those fuel rod pools, and radiation, it could soon be a cant-touch-that scenario escalating.

heres a ver y cold fact: parents can have more kids. but kids that cant have kids, are done for in a bigger picture.

well im still thinking of the NATIVE japanese, how to allocate millions of them, where can they go, japan isnt that big when if comes to all those reactors. i really hope integration laws will change, not that we have space/room, but some has so says my canadian friends. also, them reactors are by the coast, what about all the fish and the sea, if one has a hard time scooping oil up in a can in the sea (like the gulf) whats it like to keep radiation away from the sea water...its scary enough already. take all those 600.000 spent fuel rods and fly them to the moon! save japan now! nothing can replace that place. its so lovely. we here had plans to visit tokyo, but alas!

if you go back to usa now, and everything blows up in a week, who can blame you..

reply to post by iAnjo


aw no, i'm so disappointed for you, iAnjo... i can't imagine how you must feel now, with this on top of everything else

you've shown remarkable resolve so far... try to hang on to it a little longer, & hopefully you'll get out asap

all the best, as always

I'm on Okinawa, and let me tell you what they have been telling us about the evacuation.

They are sending most of the evacuated individuals here, and they are doing it in a particular order.

First they are evacuating women who are 36 weeks pregnant or more. Then they will be sending women and children, and after that they will send the military members who are non-essential.

We've been told to expect anywhere between 700 to 20,000+ in the course of this week, and that the evacuation will be going slow because they have limited runway/airspace, most of which is earmarked for humanitarian efforts.

Please be patient. I know it's hard, and I'd be at my wits end if I were in your shoes. If you make it here to Okinawa, snag a computer at the USO or other "Hotspot" and private message me. I'll do what I can to help.

My thoughts are with Japan - such a proud people

Welcome to America little brother.

If yall decide to stay here and become "Americans", promise me one thing.

Dont forget your culture and language! When you have kids, make sure they keep the old ways alive!

My german ancestors came sometime in the early 1800's from Bavaria. No one speaks the language anymore (I'm trying to bring it back) and some flat refuse to admit to being German!

Its no sin to be American and still love your ancestral cuture!

Lol, I am an American!

My apologies.

Welcome to the mainland?

I'm sorry but I doubt they will evacuate until it becomes a big issue. Consider the fact that people were in school and work when the earthquake occurred. They knew it would happen I believe, cause I learned that they always know, for the most part, when an earthquake will hit because the seismic readers pick up magma flow. For now just keep your cool and keep your eyes and ears open. From what I understand your emperor never talks, but recently came out and said "this is a problem" or something like that, but he also told people to "remain in their towns". Why would someone say that and then have an evacuation? I also understand that many people including American's are now leaving.

Why do you stay there? Are they going to kick you out of school for not wanting exposure to radiation? In case you have not noticed... your school is utterly destroyed. Sometimes you gotta take a leap of faith and get out. I am not there though, it's your call. I'd probably leave, although they sure make it a hill to climb to gain the right to work. Weigh the odds. The odds of this totally collapsing into major issues, or the odds that it doesn't and that you would essentially be punished for escaping. You go to Russia and I'm sure there will be people who don't want you there and will give you a hard time, and I'm sure the same is true about the USA. I would try to go to the USA. Times they are a changing.

Best of luck iAnjo! try to hang in there your in my thoughts alot I'm sure they will evacuate you and your family soon.. I pray for japan each day please keep us updated~~cookie

reply to post by iAnjo


Hopefully you've evacuated by now. Take care and update when you can.

doesnt everybody get it? i have my posts removed ALL THE TIME. becos of what i say. i figure it can only mean this site is no good! censored! now, where do people go when ats is no good. just - tell me man!
what forum and chat sites do you go to ? do you feel the same, feel free to ask for icq,etc..
and forget you anji, american teenager, we know where you'll go - seattle - you wil go in time - whatever you tell ats..
i just cant believe ats is like this.!! is there an alternative ?? Fu ats, Fu ! i had no idea
(quoting from 'contact' - 'i had no idea')

"Above top Secret was forced to remove this post because most or all of it contained one or more of etreme.."

what a joke. no name for who did what. just like in real life, people : the sooner the bettter you find out this place/site is a waste of time the better! You HAVE to get out the door, get out where reality is real,

i have just been on ats for a few weeks - this is a fraud. everything they dont like they will delete.

reply to post by chapzeroevolve

well.......silence, but i have something to add for the silent readers. lately i have gotten the urge to speak up.

this is not a mock on the OP - also i dont spell check stuff. nor the oter readers, but be warnewd im frank and cut it short - and then i make it long!!

like silent thunder, ianjo the american kid placed in japan has gone for a while. short while. big point. i read somewhere in a comment that this ats site is a money making place, aha. put that in any way you wish. im not a stock dude nor an office mouse, and its not my profession, but like everyone else i have an intuition..

im a just a simple mechanic, and taurus, if that tell you anything,

i advocate everyone - regardless of nationality - to take you own concept and subject and face it to their intuition. look at the many diffferent opinions! you al have your own, post one, ane tens are likely to disagree, even just to do so! you wont ever agree. because ALL you HAVE is INTUITION. regardless of the biased news, the media, the word herd and read.

everyone who's putting money into helping organisations are even in good meaning worthless, they are putting money into stupidity, you will NEVER know where the money go. money is fiction. real help is priceless.

any japanese could probably need help by now. but the news are posting news of the stock exchange. people who qaar offering help like homes are just a joke. realp help means GOING THERE! NONE of you have the effort, the excess or the wish to do so. none. this is just a joke. all there is left to do is to change LAW! change the laws!

we have the most ignorant and lame, and racist laws in the world and i HATE IT! this all inherited fro the us and the 'friendship' with them. we have to change it, even in this small 5 mill country, we have to abide and bow toall people! its the only way 10-20-30 year wars end! integration and assimilatiomn has to be put to an END!!

I am advocating this on a giant scale, i advocate everyone to turn down the JANTE LAW - read true with-a-slash denmark dot com. you will find that even the richech countries dont look foor control. the masses are por - but the majority!!

how to connect the dots ??? from this disaster to the jante jaw ? Easy!! read the rules of the jante law here:
en.wikipedia.org...

it is a basic of warfare and inhumanity. (8and why i despite my country for 25 years)

what to do ? there is only one choice, say no to capitalilism, while we are not all bill gates and rich, yet this is what is takes, do you have it ? can you leave and make a difference ? go back to the one-person working family, one work to make the dimes to make the home family go round, the other tries to make a difference (its not like theres lotsa hippos or deers to hunt). simply: you HAVE to change your life stye, no matter the females, and the males like it or not, humanity is its own stumbling over the leg,.

this radioactivity...what it will result in ?? it will result in,,,what it already did for a start: economics meltdown - it happend even EARLIER before the actual plutonium, uranium, ziaconium isotopic meltdowns that are bound to happen!! so japanese economy is going to happen!! so what!! get a grip on live - it could be YOU next!

i think it will be everyone next - solely because the wrong priorities. solely because of ignorance, fear, and sense of security! stuff it AWAY! BE HUMAN! why is it so hard to treat everone else 'like you weant to be treated yourself ?' WHY? Like another member said: " we cant go anywhere without losing job - hence income - hence home - hence - everything". Humanity learned to build bridges,we just have to learn to use if for good rather than bad.

I am shocked by the response over some americans that are left in japan. dont get me wrong. I dont give a flying # over the danish people that are left in japan by now, maybe its my nature. Me and my girl were actually talking about visitng if notstaying in japan. because of the lame laws in denmark. its goten kinda dull now! but i am still talkin about it. in fact i'd rather die in japan than denmark!! no # man. you go here and tell me what you think!

im thill wanting to go there. disaster or not. evereything has a price!! i dont see a way t change politics here, like i told my brother: "look man we're on top of a dog #, which is on top of a cow # - there is nowhere to go when they tell us to!" im am native danish, but want to flee! there is nowhere to go! do you have any idea of the car prices here ? the gas prices ? the house prices ? happiest nation in the world ? yet on top of the high-5 score of suicide in the world. happy my ass. is only i knew where to flee. I live on a placeflat as a dime.

Im not afraid to go to japan. unlike some 'silent thunder' im not going there to post 'look at me man im here, old man with a cane, check my date'. drinking champagne. i would go there and take part in life, the real life. not just some cheese box like here in copenhagen. everything thatwas invented here, is practically removed as well,.

there is no production of size here, recruitment is huge of people from other eu countries., us danes dunno where to go. denmark has this idea that they want they 'best' people - and not having the best there is - we outcompeted outselves! we are sold out like a hooker next door! "it could hapen to you" yes it will hapen to any western country - its a logic of economics and capitalism.pure nature!

for this part i guess i will end. sorry if i placed this post in the wrong place. i would not be surprised if it got deleted as a member though. therefore i think i wil save this post, people are welcome to contact me. it is about time i said that. I am inside the home of the most civilized racist county in the world - believe me on that one. i just hate to be surprised on that one - because i have NOwhere to go if they dismiss my Eva.. its jsut me Eva and 3 birds.

and humanity doesnt allow much here. I am dreaming that perhaps we could abobt a japanese kid, if the government allowed it. have you ever seen a japanese kid ? they are a beatutiful!
