The first day

Leaving Tokyo in the morning... taking the Joetsu Shinkansen to Nagaoka it was sad I had to hear the result of Murakami-san's trial at Tokyo station & not @ the courthouse.

It was so hot in Kashiwazaki reaching nearly 30 degrees!
It was actually more like 40 degrees inside the city hall where we stationed in, inside the Kashiwazaki City Hall.

the Kashiwazaki City Hall where the emergency measures and the first steps towards revival will start...
