I read a article about new japanese prime minister.
In the aftermath of last March’s devastating earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis, Japan’s governing Democratic Party elected Yoshihiko Noda as the prime minister in August 2011. Mr. Noda, the country’s former finance minister, was chosen to lead the nation to recovery and to revive its moribund economy.
Actually, I don't know about it well because I'm studying abroad in Hawaii during the prime minister is changed. I couldn't watch TV. But I don't think that Japan will be changed. They should think about national more especially, people who are suffered from tsunami and earthquake.

I did not really want to care about politics in my country while I was younger. I thought that politicians are not trustworthy. However, now I think differently and I kind of think that it is our responsibility to the society. It's nice that you are caring about what is happening in Japan.
ReplyDeleteI hope Japan will recover from the tsunami soon and be strong as it always has been!
