Thank you for your patience for subscribing Cultural News.
After I returned from Kumamoto to Los Angeles on May 8, I am catching up the publishing schedule of the May issue at the same time I am visiting local groups to present a slideshow of Kumamoto Earthquake.
The earthquakes on April 14 and 16 destroyed numerous buildings and left numerous building to unsafe. At this moment, more people chose to sleep at their cars outside of their home than people stay at shelters in Kumamoto area.
As good side of the relief efforts, sending staff and equipment from all over Japan to Kumamoto was coordinated well, and life lines of running water, electricity and gas were restored soon.
I like to deliver these reports about Kumamoto Earthquake and Los Angeles local cultural events to subscribers by Saturday, May 21.
Sincerely,
Shige Higashi
