At Sydney from the car window I looked at houses coordinated with staid red roofs and bricks. It is enviable to build houses made of beautiful bricks because of no earthquake in Sydney. In Australia they can have residences and up keeping lifeline in low price. In Japan on the lifeline except house maintenance for one example My family need total about 1000$ by month for lifeline, that is, gas line, power line,waterline, phone line, kerosene, and gasoline. I will need below a half of that payment in Australia.
We may have a our houses at first time beyond 60 years old by a retiring allowance with bank-loan. We are living in a small house surround-ing by a lot of telegraph and power-poles and we have to pay more fee on high-speed way . We live in a make-believe front modern country Japan. I think Japan is like a fiction, a made-up country.
In half century after World War II, Japan has a fabulous development and a lot of brighten urbane towns and communications. However, I was awaked at one early morning by only a half minute earthquake from KOBE. Lives of more than five thousand are missing in house collapses and fires by a slight opening the door of God. KOBE means "the door of God". I loved the tremendous beautiful night view from a mountain in KOBE. I can never forget all that glitters in KOBE. But people in there need an actual lifeline more than the explanations by pedants and consolations by demagogues. Both power and telegraph are recovered in a few days. But water and gas lines are not available for several weeks. 300 thousand refugees are living in a lot of temporary camps. World and Australian people help them with a lot of waters and donations. At first glance, it looks like good. We need a real lifeline after a first-aid lifeline. If we have cheep lifelines, for next half century we will have a trial by God.
Tears comes into my eyes and runs down my cheek in writing with my powerless and sadness .But We must prepare the next earthquake in Japan. I wonder that Japan has real houses, lifeline and an acting town of Tokyo.Australia has a capital as an acting town of Sydney with a political function.
In a half century we have a geographic peace, but we must know Japan is on a floating earth in next half century. Japan had an another enormous disaster of about more than 5000 disappearance after World War II.
I have experience of the disaster by typhoon in 1959. I held a wardrobe at entrance of my house to avert a wild wind and rain, nevertheless I was child and my power was useless and wasteful. Over the night I was thinking of having a small but a hardy house next time. After the typhoon I was fortunately fine excepting my house and town-lifeline. I reminded self-lifeline without depending on town-lifeline.
I wonder Japan had no idea in real lifeline and real helps. At this time saving goods can not be distributed by helicopters. However, I should stopped to tell my dissatisfactions to my country and I checked real stockpiles at my house. I will search by myself the lifeline from the door of God. (BB)
