Michelle Ye Hee Lee on Instagram: "“Is Japan OK?” was trending today on Japan Twitter because of the grim new year’s news out of Japan. The death toll from a 7.6-magnitude earthquake on New Year’s Day keeps rising and military personnel have been activated for rescue and relief efforts. One of those Coast Guard planes crashed on the runway today with a Japan Airlines passenger flight, killing five of six Coast Guard crew members with one in critical condition. In addition to how awful it is to start a new year with sad national news, Japan is unlike most Asian nations and observes Jan. 1 holiday rather than Lunar New Year (typically late Jan/early Feb). New Year’s week here is typically a sleepy/peaceful time with most businesses closed for several days, which I was surprised by because I’m used to LNY being a bigger deal. It makes the events of this week feel even more jarring." » 158 likes, 9 comments - myhlee on January 2, 2024: "“Is Japan OK?” was trending today on Japan Twitter because of the grim new year’s news out…" Instagram.com
