Recovery work continues in northeast Japan after quake cuts water supply

SDF, thank you!

SDF to the rescue! If there's one thing Japan is very good at, it's in post-disaster repair and relief efforts

Bless the SDF. Astonishing efficiency and speed in every disaster.

Echo all saying positive things about the SDF and other emergency responders, plus anyone doing repair work of any kind.

The Japanese are model citizens in times of crisis. No pushing or shoving or rioting like in other countries. Just quietly waiting your turn.

I have never seen a Japanese cut in line. I've only seen the Japanese apologizing when they inadvertently cut in line: oh, is this the line? Sorry about that!

Actually, water bags are much better than rigid jugs. They are easy to carry and store when empty. You can keep an extra supply of water bags stored for a long time without using much space.

Very very sorry.

Japanese people are so resilient.

There is an old expression that the photo reminds me of,

It goes, "Water, Water everywhere, but not a drop to drink."
