Alex has another talk with “our girl in Tokyo,” Aishah, on the one week anniversary of the quake and flood that has killed thousands of people in Japan. She gives her insights on how things are going in Tokyo, how a scarcity of decision makers is affecting recovery efforts and her views on American foreign policy with regards to Japan. She also vents ever so slightly about the mass transit and says that despite all the problems Japan faces, the Japanese are getting even more nice.

Japan needs our help, so please contribute what you can to the Red Cross Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami fund.
