There's a video of Nissan Carlos Ghosn somewhere in the disaster area -- Ibaraki? -- looking at a damaged factory. He tells the workers and reporters that they're going to get people in here, and he expects partial production by mid-April. And he says it will be better than before. And he expects they will hit full production again by June. They show him and a ring of local workers doing a cheer, shoving their fists into the air together.
( swinging in the breeze... )
I was wondering today what it would be like to be one of these children? I mean, for them, life has been sort of normal, but then ... quake, tsunami, radiation danger! And now you're living in a shelter, with famous people and volunteers coming through, news people taking pictures, all kinds of stuff being given to you... and in a year or two? Will they go back to a normal life, or will they expect that this kind of thing will happen any day now? Will they consider normal life as kind of boring? What will they take away from this experience?
