I've been reading that there is also a social embarrassment to moving out of fear of radiation. And while this would be considered normal to the hyper-fearful American, I know from my personal experience in Japan that it must be ruffling many social feathers.
MM: I'm not sure. I don't personally know anyone who's left, although I did talk to a woman who was irritated that a French man who is/was(?) working for her who jetted back to Paris at the first sign of trouble. Everyone else I know is nervously watching the news basically. So - I don't know exactly who is leaving, but watching the lines for Shinkansen tickets and highway buses, a number of people are. If a real exodus ever gets started though - then look out! I'll say one thing for sure - I'm certainly glad that broken nuclear plant isn't any closer to Tokyo! One of the big worries now is about food. There's a lot of farmland up that way, so it's worrying to contemplate eating radioactive food... - Lyle
