watching CNN coverage of NHK online.. the translator is either not very good or they are reporting very mundane things..
they just reported about a hardware store who rents Petrol Power Generators.. and they guy was said "We have 6 Generators, and we are surprised as we have bookings for all of them for the next week"
and they just said at Shinjuku station yesterday there was a cue of 30 people waiting for information.
wow.
30 people
6 generators.
Japan has 127 million people
- and they showed an image of the generator, and its one of those small domestic ones.. wouldnt even run a PAautoflavour
