Item Description
A new term has arisen since the mega-earthquake on 11th March - flyjin. Now this term can be considered offensive as I believe it's intended to be a disparaging description. But I must admit to finding it a funny pun. Flyjin refers to those many thousands of expats who left Japan in the week or two after Fukushima started its ongoing crisis.
