PrayForJapan tweet

I came across this Japanese tweet channel from one of my Japanese's friend. Luckily the tweet page allows me to switch to English language (on the top of the page) since I don't understand Japanese. I started to read the tweets from those affected from the recent earthquake and disastrous tsunami. It doesn't take long for me to realize the people in Japan are so amazing with their perseverance during extremely difficult time. Read their inspiring tweet and you will know what I am talking about.

Here are some of the translated tweets,

So busy traffic. Only one car can go across the traffic light per one blue light, but I was moved to see people drive gently with giving their way. Some intersecions has been completly stopped for more than 5 min., but I've neber heard any horn sounds except the sounds said "Thank you" for 10 hours. I was sceard, but also I've had warming time, and came to like Japan more."

"Last night when I was tired out waiting for the train at the station, the homeless people gave me one of their cardboards to prevent the cold... even though we usually ignore them in daily life... So warm."

"There was a train driver who had been working all night long. When I went up to him and said "It must be tough for you", he smiled and said to me, "What else can I do at a time like this?" Made me rethink about the people of Japan. Moved me."

"People buying things at scattering supermarkets, with picking up thing fell off, and making line to pay. Elder person who gave his seat to a pregnant mother, even in a crowded train which just started the operation. Foreigners shocked by these sight. These must be real. Amazing, Japan."
