Vancouver, Canada
We (me and my husband) will be on the plane in 10 hours to go to Fukushima after 18 months since our last visit there as unmarried single people.
Since I left Fukushima in September 2012, I did not come back to Vancouver, but continued to travel westward: Korea, China, Russia, Ukraine and Spain. Then I finally arrived in Israel just eight days before the war between Israel and Gaza broke out and lived through the war and seven more months. I then went to Sinai, Egypt just before the unrest in Egypt got so bad for most tourists. Finally I returned to Vancouver last June and continued some more travels to Asia since then. Oh, in between the trips I got married to a theologian who has the same passion for Jesus and his Kingdom, and God's continuing work of love in this messy world.
Today we just celebrated our first five months of marriage and we are on the road together now. We looked at each other and said, "How about Fukushima for the honeymoon, part two?"
Our purpose of this trip to Fukushima is to support our dear friends, Midori and Dr. Kanda at Friends with the Voiceless International as they have worked so hard with some Japanese Christian artists for a very special event starting from this weekend. We will be there!
