Despite all the disaster that the tsunami has caused to the town, miraculously my father's village was more or less unharmed. This I am incredibly grateful of, as not all my childhood memories were destroyed. It's a very quaint and bucolic village which reminds you of the good old days in Japan like
My Neighbor Totoro (which explains why I love that movie so much!). The earthquake caused a few monumental destructions and you visibly see temporary housing barracks here and there, but everything is left in tact. And it's beautiful.
