Japan was hit by a terrible Earthquake, Tsunami and are being effected by seriously dangerous amounts of radiation!! A triple whammy that has devastated such a beautiful country. We were unaffected where we were other than feeling the earth quake slightly as it was that bad, we didn't feel it as were on the mountain but people we know did!! We were oblivious to what was going on and was hard to believe this was happening in the same country we were in. My first knowing of this was when I got e-mails from both my brother and mum asking if I was ok!! Soon after this happened and the threat of radiation was growing Niseko was becoming deserted, everyone leaving, you'd be on the mountain and practically have it to yourself, just seeing the locals out riding!! We left on the 20th March due to all this, we were very sad to leave as we had made some good friends out there and loved the country and the culture but now back and seeing what's happening I think it was good we did out of respect for them and let them deal with this.
