I’d like to offer an advance apology to my friends in Japan for the devastating tsunami that will likely hit Japan when the Pacific Northwest has another massive earthquake.
Luckily, if the 500-year-cycle prediction holds, it won’t be a problem for another 200 years or so.
I have always heard that it was a 300 year cycle and we are due! I will have to check my geologist sources. I am sure the surfers in Japan will appreciate the heads up (love) and all the other coastal dwellers will accept the apologies.
I just stumbled upon your website doing a quick fact check on the artist who did the big spider in Roppongi Hills, for my undergraduate thesis, which is on the site (among other things). I ended up looking around quite a bit more at your pictures of Japan, and I just wanted to tell you how lovely I thought they were, and that they made me homesick for Japan as well. Thanks!
