Scots Teacher on Japan Earthquake Six Months on
By Steven McKenzie
BBC Scotland Highlands and Islands reporter

A Scot teaching English in Japan who experienced the 9.0 magnitude
earthquake that hit the country in March says the clear-up will take
decades.
.
Graeme Melvin, 28, from Edinburgh, but now living in the Tokyo area,
previously told the BBC Scotland news website of the hours immediately
after the quake and later what happened in the six days that followed.
.
Here he looks back at the past six months. Graeme's friend, American John
McCullough, took images from around Tohoku, the region where the
earthquake hit.
.
"Six months ago Japan was left in a total state of chaos by the disastrous
events of 11 March where the earthquake and tsunami devastated all of us
who live here.
.
The destruction and loss of life in the Tohoku area was monumental and the
clear-up will take decades, not to mention building new homes for the
hundreds of thousands of affected people who are still living in temporary
housing.
.
However, the aid and support that Japan has had from the rest of the world
has been simply incredible.
.
Everyone from friends and family, ordinary people from all over the planet
who have never been here - to celebrities like Lady Gaga, Liam Gallagher,
Linkin Park, Demi Lovato, Justin Bieber - and so many more, have done such
a fantastic job of raising money for the Red Cross and the relief effort.
.
It goes without saying that the people living here can't thank everyone
who has helped enough for their kindness and support.
.
Japanese companies have also tried hard to raise spirits by including
messages such as 'Ganbarou Nippon' in their commercials, which means
basically good luck/do your best Japan, as well as donating large sums of
money to help the relief effort.
.
The biggest positive this year for Japanese people has been the success of
their woman's football team who won the World Cup during the summer.
