Traveling to Japan

[somethingwitty]

So I've got a nice Japan Honeymoon planned in August - visiting Tokyo, Kyoto & Hiroshima. Over the last couple of days, I've been trying to follow the issues at the nuclear power plant, specifically the radioactive spill into the Sea of Japan.

I'm probably just looking for reassurances that this is still safe...so, how would I look into possible impacts (particularly on Fish - sushi fan; though also air quality, drinking water, etc) and convince myself that I probably won't hear about a huge health issue down the road?

I haven't heard of any IAEA involvement yet, and so far only see "official comments" that the levels released are within allowable levels. Any other info/links would be great.

thanks much.

You mean that spill that was something like one billionth of the daily allowed amount?

I think I can take him in a fight - I am, after all, married now

I recommend it. It's great there. There is a slight danger, but its not significant. They have awesome warning systems, so you are more or less safe.

If you see Godzilla, remember to throw your hands in the air, scream and run like they do in the movies.

Ya, isn't this how every Godzilla movie begins?

There is zero danger. Zero.

There's no guarantee there won't be another earthquake, but you're safe from radiation

Oh yeah, also, try to talk to people who wear bright colored suits and have tattoos all over their body. They give candy.

Make sure there are no typhoons forecast to hit there.
