The awe-inspiring Alps
地震・津波・原子問題があっても、ただ胡坐をかいてテレビ見っぱなしだけじゃ… やらなっきゃいけない事をやっちゃう！ 今日は以前から予定していた３つな大事な会議があって、長野市と松本市へ出かけました。もともと電車で行く予定だったので、ガソリンの節約になってなお良かった。
長野駅と松本駅の途中で、北アルプスが見えてきました。雄大な山々でホッとしました。
自然の力はすごいですね。地震や津波の様な恐ろしい面もあるけど、力があるからこそ感動的です。
Even with the earthquake / tsunami / nuclear radiation problems, life goes on. Rather than just wallowing in sadness and watching the gloomy news on TV all day, we gotta go on with the things that we need to do. Today, I had 3 important meetings to attend in Nagano City and Matsumoto City so I did a bunch of train travel and made some good progress. It's good I did take the train instead of driving -- gas is getting scarce due to people hoarding it.
On the train ride from Nagano Station to Matsumoto Station, there are some spectacular views of the Japanese Alps. Seeing the magnificent mountains somehow helped to lift my psyche.
Mother Nature's power is amazing. That same power that made these mountains moved the earth last week and created the tsunami. Awe and respect.
