A group of Japanese middle school students were supposed to arrive at Palo Alto yesterday for the annual exchange and they canceled the trip after the quake. They are from Tsichuira City in the Ibaraki Perfecture which got some damage. A few parents who hosted students earlier got through to some of the students from previous years. One of them said We have no food, we have no electricity, but we are happy. We are happy that we are alive. Somber words. How much time we have on this Earth is not determined by ourselves. Live to make it better. Be well. On Sun, Mar 13, 2011 at 6:08 AM, Peter Cheyne <geordiepete211 at yahoo.co.uk>wrote: > Thank you ever so much for your messages of concern.
