American Student Testimonial
English Description
I have attended the American School in Japan for five years. On March 11th 2011, I was in eighth grade English. That night our bus ride home, normally a little over an hour, took more than eight hours. We were able to communicate through the internet on smartphones, but phone lines were down, and in general it was difficult to find information about what was going on. A day or two later, we started hearing about the nuclear problems at Fukushima Daiichi. My family left the country and returned to Chicago, where I am from. I recall my parents struggling to find information about nuclear contamination and danger in Tokyo. We returned after three weeks, when my parents decided it was best to just come home.
