Just yesterday I came across a video on Youtube about the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that destroyed Fukushima and the surrounding areas. It was done by NHK based on footage collected from people during the event: “3/11 - The Tsunami: The First 3 Days”

What was clearly apparent was the way the Japanese reacted post-event, versus the way people react in the U.S. urban areas whenever there is a problem. The differences are staggering.

You're right...in fact Asians view life very differently in most areas than we do in the states IMO. All things in Order is a big thing for most...Often it has to do with saving face...as well in their relationships. Also much is viewed 'collectively' and as a 'duty'. There probably isn't a single video I haven't seen of that time. I spent months watch and viewing as it was such a huge event. Even now I scan to see if there are any new videos. hey were quick to clear out and clean up and rebuilding where they could....then the planning and building up areas to do a rebuild. Lots of planning.
