One of his concerns - selling office space - is also struggling, as many business customers have withdrawn and moved their offices to Hong Kong or distant parts of Japan. <br />His daughter's school - Tokyo International - has been closed since the earthquake, as many of their staff ran off to their homes. Obviously, he is luckier than the unfortunate thousands who live in the Sendai area, but he has to make a living and maintain his family and staff - just another of the many who are incidentally affected by recent events. <br />I think I would call him a 'Truejin'! :-)"facebookhttp://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=199673936733456&id=718216843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388372827914524197.post-76465509283445200312011-03-30T13:50:45.984+09:002011-03-30T13:50:45.984+09:00Gabi wrote : maybe stay-jin ?

Many gaijin did, if I understand it. <br />What do you call the gaijin that stayed to help, I wonder?<br />ChibiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
