Ganbare Nippon ! More power to Japan !

I left home for a walking exercise at 8:00 o'clock, earlier than usual. On the way, I saw a large flock of swans flying overhead. I guess they were flying north back to Siberia. It is a sign of spring.
Speaking of spring,the pennant race of the major league baseball of America began today. Ichiro Suzuki of the Seatle Mariners hit two singles,and recorded two stolen bases. Seatle defeated the Athletics by 6-2.
In Japan,charity baseball matches were held for the East Japan Great Earthquake in several places.( The government decided to formally call the March 11 earthquake
"The East Japan Great Earthquake") In Sapporo,the game between the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters and the Tohoku Rakuten Eagles was played,and Hokkaido won.
It is good for the people in all different walks of life to be acting to help and encourage the people in the disaster areas.
As of April 1st,the number of dead people in the quake and tsunami:11,734, missing people:18,152, evacuees:166,729. Very high level of radiation was reported to have leaked into sea water from the reactors of the crippled nuclear power plant.
