Tokyo - Fukushima Journal - Snapshots March/April 2011

As the Tsunami hit Japan in March 2011, severely affecting the country, many foreigners left the country as quickly as possible.

Daniel Bürgin, a Swiss native, preferred to stay in Tokyo and described the earthquake and the aftermath of the catastrophe in a diary.

This book provides a true account of life in Japan during this time, avoiding the hysteria that was evident in much of the media's coverage of the events. We further gain an interesting insight into Japanese psyche when dealing with disasters and also, a close look at the crisis management of The Swiss Embassy during those days.
