After FIVE hours walking nonstop, one train trip, and 15 minutes biking from our station, my husband is finally home! Red eyes, blisters on the heels, freezing ears and all, but we’re together at last! I feel like I’m going to cry now T_T
He said that there were a lot of people walking home with him, some were even running. Here’s a few pictures that he took before his iPhone battery died. These are people stranded in Shinjuku station, they were watching news from the big television. My husband’s office was trashed and there were cracks on the wall. We are still experiencing aftershocks until now.
Be with your loved ones and stay safe, everyone!

We saw it on TV. We couldnt believe our eyes. We live here in Hawaii so we were all preparing for the Tsunami to hit here in our Islands. I think the biggest waves here were 9 ft. Some damage to roads but nothing big. We are all praying for the people there in Japan. Glad your husband made it home safely. Aloha!!
