Translated tweets from Japan the night of the earthquake. (reposted from here)


We were getting tired of waiting on the platform when homeless guys came by and gave us their cardboard boxes to use as mats to keep warm - even though we’re the ones that see you and pretend we don’t see you. Thanks.

As I was walking my 4-hour walk home, I saw a woman with a sign in her arms that said “Feel free to use our restroom!” She was offering her bathroom for us walking the long walk. I think you can say that Japan is the most heartwarming country in the world, you know. I couldn’t help my tears running down my cheeks.
