A Man from England

Many governments warned their citizens and a lot of foreigners evacuated from Japan.
As well it should.

However, there are still many foreigners in Japan.
A British man who I watched on TV is one of them.

He had lived in a small town in Hokkaido for fifteen years.
After the issue of the Fukushima Daiichi power plant came out, he had wondered whether he should go back England or not. And all of his friend urged him to go back England.

He had decided to go back home and moved to Saitama.
At there, he watched an interview on TV.

An old woman was on the interview.
She said "I lost everything. But I wouldn't go anywhere else. Because I have been belonged here."

When he heard her interview, he changed his mind at once.
Next day, he left for Hokkaido to rebuild.


Some friends of his became upset when he got back.
However, after they understood his decision, they felt a sense of gratitude.

Now, he and his friends have been working together for their community.
